Trees are extremely iconic and we see a lot of similarities between them, but they’re mostly due to convergent evolution. Plants have been growing that stalk independently over and over and over. Crustaceans become crab-like, mammals become ant eaters, and plants become trees. *carcinisation intensifies*
What makes me lose my sleep:

If like me you hadn’t heard of mammals turning into anteaters: Mammals have evolved into ant eaters 12 times since the dinosaur age, study finds
What do fungi converge into?
The gods do not concern themselves with convergence
