Jun 25, 2020 at 20:46 comment added ApproachingDarknessFish "It is the only part of the body that does not contain DNA from the father" not exactly. The mitochondria is the only part of a cell that contains only DNA from the mother. Every other part of the cell besides the nucleus, and all non-cellular body parts, contain no DNA at all, neither maternal nor paternal.
Jun 25, 2020 at 20:42 comment added ApproachingDarknessFish In order for a mitochondrial-style inheritance, the fungus would need to grow inside the host's cells--and to my surprise, it seems that fungi can indeed do this! So intracellular symbiosis seems plausible.
