The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!

cordyceps are to fungi what barnacles are to arthropods, horrifying twisted versions of the clade
They are great for human ingestion, I take cordyceps medicinally regularly.
Of all the arthropods you could have singled out as the scary one, you picked Barnacles?
I think these fit the idea.

What the fuck?!
you have seen how they look on the inside, yes? They bring about existential dread with how they’ve been twisted from the arthropod baseline, they’re like the creatures in Man After Man.
TIL that barnacles are crustaceans. Had thought that were mollusks. Yeah. I’m going to have to agree with them bring a horrifying twisted version of the clade.
