Field Notes

Description:

Mushrooms are mostly found in forest, but can also be found in tropical areas. One thing they have adapted over the years is increasing the surface of their gills. Animals that interact with mushrooms are rodents, dears, and bear. Mushrooms feed of off dead plants just like a compost. A mushrooms life cycle starts with spots appearing when hypha grow from the spores, and the use nutrients surrounding them to help them grow. The mushroom is red, orange, and yellow on the flat top. The rest of the body of the plant is white
