Question

does mushroom is a plant
​

Answer 1

A Mushroom isn't really a plant. It is a fungi that have a "plantlike" shape, such as a stem and cap.

Explanation:

• Mushrooms aren't plants because they don't make their own food (plants use photosynthesis to make food).

• Mushrooms and other fungi often grow in association with plants - perhaps attaching to the side of a tree, or growing out of a dead log as it decays.

• They are important in helping to "recycle" nutrients and break down dead plant materials.

• Depending on what time of year it is, you may see the flowering part of the mushroom, as the fungus enters it's reproductive phase.

• Many mushrooms are poisonous, so they should not be touched, as even a small amount of spores can have an effect on humans.
