HGT is also common amongst soil fungi between bacteria and fungi. In fact, when certain mycorrhizal fungi are placed in high-stress environments, the rate of HGT increases. It's not really understood what mechanisms cause this, but it seems to be an adaptation to quickly adapt and evolved to a new environment by borrowing genes from other soil organisms
