What is biopulping?
Biopulping is a process where fungi are used to degrade lignin in wood fibers, making them easier to separate from cellulose. This method can help reduce the energy and chemical requirements for pulping wood to make paper products.

What break down rotting wood and other plant parts?
Fungi, specifically decomposer fungi, break down rotting wood and other plant parts. These fungi secrete enzymes that break down the complex molecules in the wood into simpler forms that can be absorbed by the fungi as nutrients. This process is essential for recycling nutrients in ecosystems.
Where to shelf fungi grow?
Shelf Fungi grow on dead wood. In rare cases, it grows on live wood, and starves the tree from all of its nutrients.
Can fungi rot wood and spoil food?
Yes, fungi can rot wood and spoil food. Wood-decay fungi break down cellulose and lignin in wood, leading to deterioration and structural damage. Similarly, certain fungi, such as molds, can grow on food, leading to spoilage by breaking down organic matter and producing toxins. This process can affect the safety and edibility of food items.
What is fungi that grow outward from wood and form small shelves?
These type of fungi belong to the genus Pleurotus (latin meaning sideways). One well known species of this genus is known as Pleurotus ostreatus or the Oyster Mushroom. It is edible and considered a delicacy in Asia.

Do fungi only thrive on rotting wood?
No, there are many species of fungi all over the planet. They live in conditions that are very different. From rotting wood, to inside the human body!

Is rotting wood a living thing?
No. Rotting wood is part of a ex-living thing. The bacteria and/or fungi in it, that are causing the deterioration, are living things though.
