EVERYDAY MUSHROOM

WELCOME

Mushrooms are the most fascinating species! They populated the planet long before us and will survive long after us. (See the documentary called The kingdom -- Watch Here ) They are the information super highway of the plant kingdom and they keep our forests healthy and thriving. The Mycelium network that lives underground all over the planet communicates and sends messages, provides nutrients and grows thousands of varieties of shrooms! It is estimated that we have only identified roughly 120,000 of all varieties and they estimate between 2.2 and 3.8 Million varieties out there. What an amazing species!! Mushrooms are more related to us than to plants and fun fact...they breathe oxygen and exhale CO2 just like us!
