Can a Prototaxite be used for a wood equivalent?

These monsters existed before trees did, and while there are a few theories on whether they actually existed as depicted above, for the sake of the fact that I'm going with an alien planet, I'm going to assume that's how they were.

What I'm wondering is could a fungoid-like in such a configuration be used instead of wood? IE, could you dry it, cut it into planks, build a boat out of those planks, build a house, etc.

For ease of answering presume it follows terrestrial biology as much as practical, and has been given conditions in which it could grow.
