I haven't read that far into the book myself either, but it would seem by observing what I have read it would seem that some of the strucres are simularlly composed of simular builing materials as the orginal flood. But I think rather that they may have accidentally made them as a byproduct of their building materails. I draw this conclusion based on the fact that their structures seem to be living stone and metal, but ancient humans aparently had a hand in creating the flood we know today. How ever humans did make a vaccine, which if injected would make the host become a plague to the flood, acting like a blaze accross an open field. However, eny by product of this combination would lead to organic growth. Basically, flood dies, life starts again...I would think the byproduct would be plant like, as it is an adaptation to the fungi, and a resequenced gene of the original material. Some plants actaully over come fungi, and take root were they once lived. However, I'm not entirely sure if the forerunners had access to this vaccine, or that they would be willing to use it, as it requires a sacrifice....They may also not have known about it, or the flood became imune, or it was not readilly available. Either way...I think this light of information may help in the matter...
It actually does make more sense that Precursors created them out of accident like something having to do with their materials. I strictly remember as the Precursors creating the Flood I read it in the book, and I was shocked because their origins previously had no factual evidence to point to a logical conclusion.
