I still do not understand why prototaxites had to be three to nine meters tall. Nothing was tall back then. Plants are tall to avoid the shade of other plants. Prototaxites (probably) didn't "need" sunlight.
Spore dispersal isn't a good reason to be tall IMO.
If Prototaxites were just the stalk of a "fruiting body" of a fungus the network of mycelium must have been massive. Some prototaxites fossils show evidence of creatures/fungi colonizing them.
But we don't really know. Drives me nuts.
@futurebird excessive unnecessary competition driven by Toxic Myceliumity.
I almost tagged my post "prototaxities fan fiction" ... but then realized I'd need to make it "SFW prototaxities fan fiction" for obvious reasons... and decided that even THAT was causing trouble where none was wanted.
But I'm bringing it up now anyways.
Those enigmatic dildos of the deep past, what were they doing???
@futurebird Someday we will make it out to space. Humanity will do reasonably well in diplomatic relations, except for one elder species. Eventually it will be determined:
1. The universal translators just can't handle laughter.
2. After the machines checked Earth's coordinates, it started getting translated as "The Old Dildo Farm".
