ABOUT FUNGI/MUSHROOMS:

Mushroom, Fleshy spore-bearing structure of certain fungi, typically of the phylum Basidiomycota. It arises from the mycelium, which may live hundreds of years or a few months, depending on its food supply. Since some poisonous mushrooms closely resemble edible ones, mushrooms intended for eating must be accurately identified.
