Feasibility of Giant Fungi

+0
−0

I have a temperate rainforest environment within the arctic circle of my planet. What is the feasibility of fungi storing nutrients from dead matter during the daylight hours, then erupting to create a very tall (10-20 ft. ) cap & stem/fruiting body? I'm asking because I know fungi used to get rather large in the past, with the primary example being prototaxites.

Edit: This would not happen over night but over the course of a month or several weeks!

Thanks for the help guys, y'all have given me alot of factors to help support my fungi in a realistic environment.
