Fungi have vital roles in ecosystem health. There are numerous fungi that
produce fleshy fruiting bodies known as mushrooms, many of which are prized
for their edible and medicinal uses. In this edition of The Overstory,
special guest author Paul Stamets explores the role of mushroom-producing
fungi (commonly referred to as mushrooms) in the health of forests and
other landscapes.

The article covers three basic ecological groups of mushrooms: those that
form a symbiosis with host plants called mycorrhizal mushrooms; those that
act on living plants called parasitic mushrooms; and those that recycle
dead plant material, the saprophytic mushrooms.

Thanks I enjoyed reading your post. I am presently raising some mushrooms in
my basement using the h2o2 method.

Thanks again, you had some facts that I didn't know before

Sounds interesting. Are there any pictures to help identify them. I
have one species that seems to be all over my lawn this year. I take
mushrooms as a sign of good lawn health as the shrooms need moisture.
If my bag chute plugs up I know I am cutting to much. By seasons end I
usually have it all the way up. Close to 4 inches.
