Mushrooms / Fungus

I know really little about Mushrooms, so i included Fungus in it, as i am sure not all of these are mushrooms :)

Lately i listened few podcasts that i randomly stumbled upon, and the topic was Mashrooms, Fungi and Mycorrhizal networks. There are some interesting things about it, that i am sure most people have no idea.

Did you know that Mushrooms breathe? They take up oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.

They are also good at hiding. Most of the times you don't notice them until you start really looking for them, after that, they are everywhere.

There is over 5. million fungal species in existence.
