How Would You Cook A Prototaxites?

Tweet

Well, let me give you a clue,Prototaxites, is a giant mushroom,or at least they think it was, it may have been algae, lichen or liverwort. There is some dispute over this still, but as it had colonised the earth, around 400 million years ago, before the trees appeared in quantity, a little difficult to tell, merely from it's fossilised remains. The jury appears to still be out on this 20mts giant, that dotted the landscape, and from research carried out on these unwieldy fossils, appeared to eat everything within reach, or to qualify that 'anything that photosynthesised'. So you may have been alright, chopping and slicing away with your Cook's knives, to reduce it to 'pansize', to add to your minced dinosaur, blood sausage and herbs concoction. source:evergreen.edu
