Unknown Spotting ( Mushroom )

Description:

Mushroom: I went walking in the woods around Poinciana, and I saw this mushroom, lying on the ground, near a lot of pine trees. The cap on this mushroom, was two inches wide, and two and one fourth of an inch long. The color of the cap, was different shades of tan. Underneath the cap, was the gills. The color of the gills, was a medium brown color. The cap felt like rubber. Kingdom: Fungi A mushroom ( or toadstool ), is a fleshy, spore-bearing, fruiting body, of a fungus. Mushroom - is most often applied to those fungi, that have a stem, a cap, and gills, on the underside of the cap. These gills produce microscopic spores, that help the fungus spread across the ground, or on its occupants surface. Mushrooms - a fungal growth, that typically takes the form of a domed cap on a stalk, often with gills, on the underside of the cap. Mushroom - any of the fleshy fruiting bodies of fungi, typically produced above ground on soil, or on there food sources ( such as decaying wood ). Fungus - a fungus is any member, of the group of eukaryotic organisms, that include unicellular micro-organisms, such as yeasts and molds, as well as multi-cellular fungi, that produces the familiar fruiting forms, known as mushrooms. Fungus - any of a group of unicellular, or syncytial spore-producing organisms, feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeasts, mushrooms, and toadstools. Kingdom Fungi: includes, mushrooms, rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, molds, and yeasts, and thousands of other organisms and micro-organisms.

Habitat:

Mushrooms, live all over the place. On forest floors, and on trees. Fields and manure piles, and lawns and gardens. Mushrooms, can grow anywhere, that they can find nutrients and moisture. Fungi, can be found, in just about any habitat. In soil, and on plants and animals. Woods and meadows, are the best places, to go hunting for fungi. Woods are the best place to look. Over eighty percent of fungi, are associated with trees. Also, open grassy places, and on animal dung. Fungi, are common in woodland, because of all the rotting wood, and leaf litter. Dead organic matter, which most fungi, feed on. Soil type, and soil fertility, is also important to fungi.
