Stalker enjoyed the headlines about the oldest mushroom being discovered last month. One headline read - Oldest Mushroom Is A Real Rock Star.
The 350 million year old specimen was petrified.
It is believed that fungi kick-started life on Earth as they made the atmosphere rich enough for animals to thrive.
Professor Steve Bonnevile, study coordinator on the sample said “This is a major discovery and one that prompts us to reconsider our timeline of the evolution of organisms on Earth.” Big news indeed.
