Question

Use the following information to answer the question: Certain types of mushroom grow on doors which are wet after the rains. These mushrooms can be classified as :-

Answer 1

Answer:

These mushrooms are Polypores

Explanation:

Assuming the door is made of wood, mushrooms can definitely grow with sufficient moisture. Polypores are a wood fungi, also called bracket fungi or shelf fungi, and they characteristically produce woody, shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies that are called conks.

Answer 2

The best solution is Polyporous fungi.

• Polyporous fungi are also known as bracket fungi or shelf mushrooms.
• They produce bracket shaped fruiting bodies or sometimes even circular fruiting bodies called conks.
• Bracket fungus can be parasitic, saprotrophic, or both at the same time.
• Ganoderma, one of the more prevalent genera, can form massive, thick shelves that may contribute to the tree's mortality, and then feed on the wood for years.
• Polypores are one of the most efficient decomposers of the primary components of wood i.e lignin and cellulose.
• They are able to dominate colonies of wood-rotting organisms in land ecosystems because of this ability.
• To acquire nutrients, the branched dendritic hyphae penetrate the heartwood of trees.
• They're also known as 'heart rot fungus,' since they feed on the heartwood of tree trunks, which is the centre part that contains no live cells.
• Since the door which is made up of wood and wet after the rain provides a damp, moist substrate for the growth of Polyporous fungi,
