Do a keyword search We did a Google search for “was the earth covered in giant mushrooms” and came across this Smithsonian article. The story says that between 350 and 420 million years ago, there were organisms with trunks up to 24 feet high and three feet wide. But were these actual mushrooms?  According to the article, “with the help of a fossil dug up in Saudi Arabia scientists finally figured out what the giant creature was: a fungus.” The organism is known as prototaxites. A Canadian first discovered prototaxites in 1859, and the science community has been debating the actual classification of the species since then. Prototaxites have also been called a lichen, a fungal hybrid.
