Main focus on mushrooms:
-Their in the phylum basidiomycota.
-Coprinus comatus

Mushrooms and other fungi grow almost everywhere, on every natural material imaginable.
-Mushrooms reproduce from microscopic, single-celled spores. When a spore finds an area suitable for growth, it sends out a thread-like structure called a hypha. If growing conditions continue to be suitable, the hyphae begin to interconnect to form a mass of hyphal threads called mycelium.

Fun Facts:
-There are an estimated 1.5 to 2 million species of fungi on planet Earth.
-In some ways, mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants.
-Mushrooms grow from spores, not seeds, and a single mature mushroom will drop as many as 16 billion spores.
