More fun in science — a 20-foot tall fungus

Extinct for more than 350 million years, so no “Jurassic Portabello” ideas, please.

This monster comes from an era where trees were only about one-sixth its height and no animals were yet on dry land.

Today, we or other animals would eat it to extinction.

But, it’s another reflection on the wonders of science.
