   Wasn’t aware of this camera until I saw the picture – great camera, and Panasonic just keep making brilliant products.

    This just in : "Until the appearance of the first forests around 375 Ma, the largest organism on land, towering over the landscape, was an enormous fungus." and "Molecular studies show us that animals and fungi share a more recent common ancestor than either group does with plants, and that these groups had all diverged over a billion years ago. A sparse fossil record for fungi is not entirely surprising, given the low preservation potential of soft, microscopic threads, but we still have tantalising glimpses of their history. Recent work on the Rhynie Chert, a deposit formed in hydrothermal wetlands 407m years ago, preserving an early land ecosystem in exquisite detail, has helped to reveal the hidden history of fungi. All modern groups of fungi are abundant in Rhynie chert samples apart from the basidiomycota" — http://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jan/16/strangest-things-...
