It took 60m years for fungi to evolve to break down lignin (trees) and the eventual oxidation of the lignin decay products has caused the most rapid climate shift we have ever seen

    What kind of climate shift are you referring to? Like when fungi produce organic acids and aromatic compounds etc, how is that related to shifting the climate in any way?
