This was discussed in another thread? I know we're more related to fungi than plants. I really don't think mushrooms just spontaneously grew legs, though, but I think it's something like this: algae > fungi > lichens > sponges > water-based-unicellular-life > water-based-organelle-creatures > other weird water stuff > fishies > humanes
The taxonomy is so vast that it's hard to get it down correctly with just a few surveying internet searches, but I know that land-based life came out of the ocean. This seems pretty on point:

Sponges look a lot like brains, too. Flagellates are found in algae, and some flagellates also look like brains:

Just to share, diatoms (an algae/protist) look simultaneously cool and creepy as hell:

People eat diatomaceous earth (fossilized diatoms) to help with arthritis. I find them so creepy because they're as sharp as diamonds when fossilized, and are ultra-microscopic. I was going to use them in gardening, but then decided not to out of fear, so I have a huge bag of them in my garage that I need to throw away. I have heard that mucus membranes will break them down, and that's why they aren't at all dangerous, but I pretty much hate them anyways.
Have you heard that mushroom spores can exist in space? They are the hardest organic material in nature, and they are purplish-black, so they reflect ultra-violet light. Perhaps mushrooms came to earth and jump-started our evolutionary path.
