Based on the video, Professor Richard Forley is someone who is obsessed on mushrooms and he is the one who mostly make research about the life of mushrooms. A lot of people think that mushrooms are just something to eat or for decorating. He discovers their astonishing powers of what makes them the fastest, the largest and some of the deadliest living things on planet. Some mushrooms can create any product even devices and phone. Mushrooms come from main kingdom called fungi, and most of the product in the supermarket are produced by fungi. For example, cheese, alcohol, fizzy drinks, detergent and many more. Many of the mushrooms have a cap and many have a stork, underneath of the mushrooms cap called gills. Some fungi doesn’t really look like fungi but it is part of fungus. Professor Richard went to the lab to discover more mysterious about fungi alongside with his colleague and their first experiment is about spores. Through this experiment, they are able to identify different type of identification of mushrooms just from the spores. They are very varied and mysterious since they have different type of spores. Antibiotic that used to treat patient also made from fungi. Penicillin is the first antibiotic discovers due to the spores from fungus carried on the breeze. They beauty of spores on how they escape from the mushrooms cap and went mostly to the atmosphere where people breath. Beatrix Potter is one of the leading biologist mushrooms who discovers how mushrooms released it spores. They discovered tiny drop of fluid known as bullet drop formed at the base of every small. As the spores ripens and begins to detach, the bullet drop form at the very side of the spores. Some of the fungi attach to the other plant to grow, they take nutrient from plants and give minerals and water to the plant in the same time as it is a win win situation for both fungi and plants. Mushrooms can be the deadliest fungi as it slowly killed all of the tree when it takes the nutrient. Therefore, the cell of fungi have the ability to interact with our own cell. This is powerful clue to the relationship of fungi and dust. As we can see, fungi is neither a plant or animal.

Mushrooms are the fastest, largest and some of the deadliest living things on earth. Normally when we think of mushrooms, the cultivated, edible mushrooms are the ones we think about. Mushroom just happens to be one type of fungus that we are most familiar with. It is actually one of the species of the entire fungi kingdom. Fungi happens to exist and integrated in our daily life, from food like blue cheese, fizzy drinks, soy sauce, fruit juices to detergents which are produced using fungi. Aside from daily products, fungi are utilized to produce antibiotics. Sir Alexander Fleming is the biologist who discovered the use of fungus in combating bacterial infection inside human body and produced the world’s first antibiotic – penicillin. Fungus is one of the toughest organism on earth where it can survive in different kinds of habitat, on living tree trunks, ground, dead matters and even on dungs. Majority of fungi happen to grow in the underground, where huge web of tiny threads spreading out in search of nutrients. The tiny threads attach themselves to other organisms for two-way exchange of nutrients. Nutrient exchange between fungi and other organisms can happen in two ways, either directly attach and penetrate the roots of a plant or form sheets and envelope the roots. Fungus is vital in the whole ecosystem as it uptakes sugar from root and then provide nutrients and water in return. Nitrogen and phosphorus which exist in the soil are extracted by the fungi and being provided to the plants. It is a win-win situation as the plants give the fungi back sugar synthesized by the plant through photosynthesis. Better plants grow better fungi and in return it will make the soil healthier. Fungus like oyster mushroom helps in reducing chemical pollution by breaking down toxic chemicals.

Based on Paul study shows that waster mushroom mycelium the not only digests chemical waste it also manages to create an entirely new ecosystem in the process at the time when the earth is suffering from toxin exposure erosion and of habitats overpopulation deforestation loss of soil integrity. Mushrooms present themselves with unique properties that can address all those problems with a single group and that’s what he find so exciting is that the solutions are literally underfoot. Paul’s work shows just how great the potential of fungus mycelium might be its hidden underground threads act upon their natural environment in truly remarkable ways be only now beginning to realize but as a vital as it could be to us mycelium speeding quest has one simple goal to produce its fruiting body bringing the organism to the end of its lifecycle. They have seen how mycelium can form complex feeding webs and how the mycelium underpin so many of earth’s ecosystems yet that mycelium itself has only one purpose to fulfil its own life cycle and to lead once again to the mushroom, for the fungus this final stage simply means reproduction and the dispersal of billions of spores but for another species it’s just beginning of its relationship with fungi nice find and that species is us the sulphur tuft very abundant very inedible its mythical status in folklore and magic has made the mushroom an object of both fascination and fear well now this is a troublemaker and sometimes that fear can be for good reason poison pie is a its name suggests not good to eat go out into any woodland and you’re likely to encounter a wide range of poisonous fungi that you certainly would not want on your dinner plate.

Mushrooms are a ubiquitous type of organism, innocuous enough that we don’t usually think about them very much except as food. Most of us don’t ever suspect, however, that mushrooms are actually much more than what they seem. Taxonomically, mushrooms belong to a kingdom of their very own, separate from both plants or animals – fungi. Fungi as a group are extremely diverse and numerous, with numbers of species estimated to outnumber plants by at least 10 to 1. And while we don’t realise it, fungi are everywhere, and play key roles in producing many of our most beloved foods such as cheese, fizzy drinks, chocolate, soy sauce, and bread. What we most familiarly call mushrooms are the parts with a cap and stalk. But fungi have amazingly diverse morphologies that don’t just stop at a cap and a stalk. Fungi can take on so many different forms, in fact, that it can be hard to tell what it is at first glance even for experts. However, the cap and stalk portion is only the reproductive fruiting body of the fungi. The main body lies underground as a huge network of mycelium, which in many cases engage in a mutualistic relationship with plants. In this way, fungi are key players on the stage of life on Earth. In the context of fungi’s relationship to soil, the rapidity of growth of fungal mycelium as well as its cementing properties has important implications in soil retention. Aside from that, fungi are extremely capable at breaking down and decomposing organic matter, which is crucial to nutrient cycling in soils and ensuring its continued fertility. Scientists have discovered ways to exploit this capability in fungi to help in breaking down contaminants for soil remediation. In short, fungi are productive contributors to the well-being of soils.
