If you've read Baxter's Ultima, I think something like the inter-dimensional space fungi that live in the interior of planets and have hive mind send a detachment in a meteor to colonize Earth. Those fellas caused Earth's Orbit to destabilize on impact and that produced severe weather changes, which resulted in agricultural disaster where plants were absorbing too much CO2 from the atmosphere and less and less minerals/vitamins from the soil because of slowed osmosis. In some regions the soil was rapidly ensalted because of the changed terrain and became downright inhospitable. Pockets of humans survived mostly because of forced adaptations of GMOs and a project was started to move the rest of the humans underground.
In the mean time the fungi were absorbing organic matter(it needs to be said that because of the chemisry of the Universe organic--that is carbon-based, life is statistically MOST likely) in order to increase their size and capacity, but in doing so they inadvertantly absorbed something else from the humans--self concious egoism. They became Tchort.
That's about the size of it.
