Well according to the PDA, what appears to be fungus on 4546B is actually flora, whilst on Earth fungus is more closely related to fauna than it is flora. Also if you look into it you'll find that some of the flora is really quite bizarre when compared to Earth flora.

Also there's no way a capsule containing samples from Earth could have got to 4546B and evolved to suit it. Humans have only had access to space travel in SN's universe for about 200 years, which isn't enough time for flora to evolve to suit a planet. And the planet is also at such a distance from Earth that it's unlikely a capsule could have even reached the planet yet.
