Mushrooms are a common form of fungus. They grow all over the world in woods or grassy areas where there is plenty of moisture. Some kinds of mushroom are familiar foods, but others are poisonous. Sometimes the poisonous types are called toadstools. They can cause severe illness and even death. People should never pick and eat mushrooms growing in the wild unless they are with an expert who knows which ones are safe to eat.
Most of a mushroom grows underground in tiny threadlike strands. The strands form a tangled mass called a mycelium. The familiar mushroom form is a part of the fungus that grows above the surface.
Mushrooms vary in color and shape. The most commonly grown type, the button mushroom, looks like a little white umbrella. It consists of a cap and a stalk. These are sometimes considered the true mushrooms. But other types of fungi that grow from the ground or on tree trunks or other surfaces are also called mushrooms. They may be red, yellow, lavender, silvery blue, pink, orange, green, brown, or black. They may also take different shapes. Some look like golf balls. Others may look like funnels, bells, stars, a nest of bird’s eggs, a honeycomb, or a piece of coral.
The part of the mushroom that grows above the ground is the fruiting, or reproductive, part. It produces millions of tiny particles called spores. When the spores are released they start a new mycelium wherever they land. In true mushrooms the spores come from many brownish ribs, called gills, that are crowded closely together under the cap.
