The Time Earth Was Ruled By 30-Foot Mushrooms

The Time Earth Was Ruled By 30-Foot Mushrooms Imagine a world where the tallest things around weren’t trees—but mushrooms towering 30 feet into the sky. Before forests and flowers ever existed, Earth was ruled by Prototaxites, giant fungi that dominated the planet for nearly 50 million years. These mushroom skyscrapers were taller than houses, wider than dining tables, and shaped entire ecosystems long before trees appeared. In this video, we’re diving into the bizarre age when colossal fungi reigned supreme. You’ll learn: What Earth looked like 400 million years ago, before trees and animals we know today How Prototaxites grew to become Earth’s first skyscrapers The underground fungal networks that made them unstoppable The strange ecosystems and creatures that thrived around these giants How trees rose up, waged war, and ultimately ended the mushroom empire Why the fall of giant fungi was the key to life as we know it—including us This is one of Earth’s weirdest forgotten chapters—where evolution nearly gave us a mushroom-ruled planet. If plants hadn’t shown up when they did, you’d be looking up at fungal towers instead of forests right now. Stick around to the end to see how Prototaxites shaped the soil under our feet, set the stage for forests, and indirectly made human life possible.
