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.

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.
