This time I share mushrooms from several walks and I also came across this interesting mushroom ... At least I think it's a mushroom🤭
Mushroom in the company of lichens and moss ....
How is this mushroom for me ?! was unusual ... I wanted to read something more interesting about them ... And what I found I will share with you ...🤗
*All mushrooms are mushrooms, and not all mushrooms are mushrooms. The mushroom is the fleshy fruiting body of the fungus, ie its appearance in one life phase of the fungus (in the reproductive phase). Fungi are heterotrophic organisms without chlorophyll (they take ready-made food from nature) and consist of mycelium made of hyphae (hyphae are long and often garnet filaments - cells). Common to all fungi and plants are plant hormones, and common to fungi and animals are the cell wall of chitin, the pigment melanin and enzymes present in mitochondria (cellular organelles for cellular respiration and metabolic processes). In fact, fungi and animals, together, belong to one super-kingdom of Opisthokont.
*Fungal spores (and the cell wall in fungi) consist of chitin - the hardest naturally-created substance on Earth. Some scientists believe that fungal spores are capable of traveling through space; others even believe that the fungi reached Earth from space! (And some believe that the people who claim this are from another planet! 😉)
And in the further walk, a beautiful specimen of Judas' ear and one mushroom that I have not met yet ...
*Under the right conditions, the spores of some fungi can be dormant for centuries and be fertile again after so long.
And I have to present you a beautiful specimen of lichen ... I have never met such a large specimen, but I have only seen it on one trail. It is somehow a sheltered wet road, where the plants that grow on that road like such a climate.
*Mushrooms are useful in many ways, and not only as food and medicine. Some fungi are used for bioremediation, to absorb and process hazardous and toxic substances such as oils, pesticides and industrial waste, in places where such substances pose a great danger to the environment.
Fungi can also use various other types of microorganisms as food sources - some bacteria such as Echerichia coli.
Many fungi grow in sunlight, following the sun just like plants. Unlike plants, scientists have not yet discovered how mushrooms use sunlight.
I also met this lonely mushroom on the way back, the rain had just stopped ... I believe it had just sprouted 🤗
I hope you enjoyed and learned something😊
Thank you very much for visiting my blog ❤️
Have a nice evening ✨🌌
