This question is from OG11
#39. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and root-like tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.
Here the original sentence as shown is correct. My doubt is regarding the explanation in OG.
OG Explanation: The present participle "extending" parallels the past participle "spawned".
My doubt: isnt the past participle of a verb is "had + correct verb form".
how is "spawned" a past participle?
