Mushrooms are a fungus that grows on lots of things: on cow turds, on trees, in caves. There are many types of mushrooms also. Some mushrooms make your whole body tingly and you see wavy, and fuzzy. A mushroom wanted to join a rabbit tea party. The rabits said no because he wasn't a rabbit. The mushroom replied "why I'm a fun-gi".

Mushrooms and all fungi are grown and not made. They grow from spores (something like very small seed) that are often spread by the wind. The mushroom begins its life as a large number of thin strands like roots, but with no stem or leaves. These fine roots are called hyphae and are the largest part of of the fungi. The hyphae grow in and digest a source of food. This may be a piece of moldy bread, some cow manure, or dead leaves in the soil. You have probably seen hyphae before on moldy bread with white fluffy stuff. Although the mold makes no mushrooms it is a fungi all the same and lives a similar life.

When the hyphae of one fungi meets another different individual of the same species (yes they can tell the difference between two individuals). They then combine (much like the pollination of flowers) and form a mushroom bud that eventually grows into a full mushroom. the mushrooms energy comes from all that hidden hyphae and has only one reason to live. To produce new spores and start the whole cycle off again. In fact a mushroom is far more like a flower on a bush than the whole plant. The hyphae in the ground is the real fungus and can produce many mushrooms and do this year after year in some cases. The mushroom is just a small flower on that bus that may die quickly yet the bush remains (but in this case its hidden under the ground).
