Mushrooms

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungus. They are eaten and used as medicine all over the world. Their mycelium breaks down dead wood to allow forests to regenerate.

Mushrooms are genetically more similar to animals (including humans) than they are to plants and vegetables!

Plants get their energy and mass from sunlight and air in a process called photosynthesis, while animals and fungus consume other organisms to get energy from breaking down their vital chemicals.
