yes, i skimmed research papers on this, and essentially yes, fungi can produce prions that have different conformation which is beneficial for its survival.
yea, Its actually more complicated than i thought, different species utilizes thier prions differently, different functions. one species can use prions from being merged by another colony of the same species, maintaining that population instrad. although it seems only some prions are useful, and some are inert, and some are not benificial.
fungi also uses PRIONs that is part of its evolution/physiology, and not a disease like in mammals, since they have different origins.
What’s that mean exactly, that they use proteins that can be further folded, and they exploit that property?

I guess the surprising thing is that only (?) fungi do that

Why, yes, exactly that.
