I thought it was fine dust from space that seeded the rain droplets.
It must have rained on this planet long before there were mushrooms.

It’s actually any dust and/or spores and/or pollen sufficiently high in the atmosphere. In addition, if a cosmic ray strikes the dust/spores/pollen, they pick up a charge that attracts water vapor and help form clouds/rain. Hence, when the sun’s magnetosphere is quiet (see Maunder Minimum and current solar activity), we get more rain, cooling, and NASTY winters.

I’ve read that there are spores in space.

I’ll ask Alice. I think she’ll know.
