Mushrooms

Mushrooms are fungi with a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They lack chlorophyll and rely on decaying matter or other organic materials for nutrition. Found in diverse habitats worldwide, mushrooms play crucial roles in ecosystems by breaking down dead plant material and recycling nutrients. While some mushroom species are edible and used in cooking, others are toxic and potentially dangerous. Certain mushrooms possess medicinal properties and have been used for traditional healing purposes. Additionally, mushrooms have garnered interest in scientific research for their potential environmental and health benefits.
