Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mushrooms along with other fungi are living things which are

neither plant nor animal

. They have been placed in a kingdom of their own, called Myceteae. Mushrooms are macrofungi with a distinctive fruiting body, which can be either epigeous or hypogeous and large enough to be seen with naked eye and to be picked by hand. The most common type of mushrooms is umbrella shaped with a pileus (cap) and a stipe (stem), that is,

Lentinula edodes

(Shiitake). Other species additionally have a volva (cup), that is,

Volvariella volvacea

, or an annulus (ring), that is,

Agaricus campestris

, or both, that is,

Amanita muscaria

.

 

Mushrooms

are fruiting bodies of various species of fungi. They are eaten raw or used to add flavor to dishes. Many species are gathered wild, but care must be taken as some are poisonous. The most commonly cultivated species is

Agaricus bisporus

and other types of commercial importance include shiitake,

straw mushrooms

, oyster mushrooms and winter mushrooms

Answer 2

"What you need is:

1. a place for the fungus to grow.
2. a substrate (i.e. food) on which the fungal mycelium feed and grow – it's very important this substrate is treated correctly by pasteurisation or sterilisation.
3. fungal spawn, which is the mycelium for whichever strain of fungi you would like to grow.
