Toadstools rarely reach higher then your ankle but in the Devonian period over 350 million years ago they use to grow to the size of trees and the ancient ecosystem that made these giant fungus possible was so strange that it could be taken right out of science fiction.

@@braedenconti36 Problem is it takes an incredibly long time to travel between star systems, there are approximately 10 billion planets within the habitable zone that are orbiting sun-like stars in the galaxy alone which contains 100-200 billion stars. There is simply too much space between us. No doubt in my mind they exist, but its easy to tell that they are not here (unless they are secretly present and want us to destroy our own biosphere, it will only take millions of years to get biodiversity back to early 20th century levels)

The idea of being on earth 400 million years ago, when most of the land was still barren and devoid of life, is so profoundly lonely and bizarre. Most of the land would be barren desert, and the few areas with life would look like empty featureless grasslands. No land animals to walk alongside larger than small insects. Then you come across these huge towering monoliths that just don't fit in with the otherwise empty landscape. Completely alien yet so similar and directly related to our current world.

Probably an evolutionary/wisdom gained and passed down intelligence. We evolved in trees and climbing them so it makes sense why they give that feeling of security while mushrooms like the other guy stated is a 50/50 chance on dying so it could be that we evolved or passed down intelligence to stay away from certain organisms while learning to lvoe others.

(Think of all the things that don't fossilize well or at all?) These fungi trees are very much like cordyceps

this made me see the world from a new perspective and i just realized that trees are really weird, and the fact that we use them for "wood" is even weirder. we take a living thing and use the biological material it's composed of to build stuff. when you see a plank you normally just accept that that's what wood looks like, but you never think about the fact that the reason behind the texture, the sort of wavy patterns and the round dots that used to be twigs are all because of the fact that every piece of wood used to be the body of a living organism that grows, reproduces, needs sustenance and "breathes". imagine an alien planet where instead of trees they have fungi like in the video, and you just see the walls of the alien houses being made of mushy fungi with a trypophobia-inducing texture with pores and everything, it would be wild.
