Humans and fungi closely related

[CHfather]

This must have already been mentioned here, but I don't remember it.

"As it turns out, animals and fungi share a common ancestor and branched away from plants sometime around 1.1 billion years ago. Only later did animals and fungi separate on the genealogical tree of life, making fungi more closely related to humans than plants."  https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/how-are-mushrooms-more-similar-to-humans-than-plants.html
