true. alright let's crank the heat on this thread and turn this schizo. fungi, when they invaded earth pumped so many spores into the atmosphere that they darkened the skies and changed the climate of earth into that equivalent of a nuclear winter. most fungi thrive even without sunlight but plants don't, so it led to a mass exinction event almost killing off all plant life on earth. fungi during that time grew to ten feet height and the mass of spores in the air turned the sky purple and the dead spores in the water turned rivers and lakes red and gooey. it was a very alien looking planet unfit for most plant and animal life.  then for a reason not fully understood plant life kicked back into full gear, maybe because of some solar event killing off the fungi and spores (who don't like uv light) and things balanced out again. nowadays fungi and plants have often a symbiotic relationship with fungi connecting the roots of trees in a sort of highway or internet system.
