Maybe it'd be interesting to look at the earlier ideas of gender and
procreation as well. Hell, you could have Gloranthan Spermists and Ovists!

Among other things, I work a little, now, on Cordyceps, the fungus which
produces a fruiting body from its host (I mostly work with other fungi which
don't do this BTW), the 'mushroom' which led peopple to believe that things
turned from animal to vegetable :)
