Explanation:
1.Environmental use: They recycle 85 percent of the carbon from dead organic matter and release the locked-up nutrients so they can be used by other organisms.
2.Medicinal uses:The well-known antibiotic drug penicillin is derived from the fungus Penicillium.
3.Other benefits:Mushrooms contain large amount of vitamin D2, when exposed to ultraviolet light. Recent research conducted by Pennsylvania State University showed that an hour of ultraviolet light exposure right before the mushrooms are harvested raises the vitamin D2 content in the mushrooms.
