This short video will bring you on a trip from the origins of Fungi to where they are today. It was a long and epic journey, which likely began in the Precambrian. Fossils of fungi (including mushrooms) are relatively rare, but we know that they played a role in a number of significant evolutionary events - such as the colonisation of land.
Made by a team of final year students at NUI Galway for the class History of Life:

We hope you enjoy watching!
