I was thinking of Prototaxites which was maybe 470m years old (possibly) and humongous. Sounds like sponges are it (oldest) then. Until we learn otherwise.
Bacteria are older.
Nobody knows if that fossil is a fungus. It looks like one, but to me looks much more like a tiny sponge. I could be wrong and could be perfectly a third different thing. Ctenophora are now the oldest animals I think, so there was a lot of old complexity yet from the start that we don't know well.
