The Permian-Triassic extinction event was an extinction event that occurred approximately 252 million years ago (mya), forming the boundary of the Permian and Triassic periods. It was the Earth's most severe extinction event, with about 90 percent of all marine species and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species going extinct. For some time after the event, fungal species were the dominant form of terrestrial life.

And I had no idea. Fungi? Wow.

У Еськова есть чудесная книжка, "История Земли и жизни на ней" (там в конце ссылка на фтп).
Там, в т.ч., еще о парочке великих экологических кризисов. Например - массовое отравление живых форм кислородом примерно миллиард лет назад.

А мы тут с глобальным потеплением на полградуса мучаемся. Да нам и сорок градусов не страшно! Грибы, властители жизни...

I am glad I was not alive at the time. I would hate to look like that!

What gives you the idea that you would be the dominating species of the period??? (-:

Probability theory.

On the other hand, who's dominating this time, bacteria?

I am not sure probability theory is on your side.

I am pretty deterministic. On the other hand, some people already compare me with Artificial Intelligence, so far favorably, as far as I can tell.
