They tend to grow in nearby groups but not close enough to touch in clusters. The oddest places I've found them are in thick undergrowth. Their caps can push brambles out of their way as they grow! Amazing.

Clearly fungi are going to take over the world.

Nah, bacteria are going to take over the world. Fungi are merely their evil hench-minions. ;-)
