Mushrooms have learned to freeze water using proteins.
Scientists have deciphered the genetic mechanism that enables soil fungi to produce proteins which trigger the crystallization of water at mild subzero temperatures. These proteins, acquired by fungi from bacteria, could offer a safe alternative for weather modification, industrial freezing, and cryopreservation.
