It is an interesting idea that life may have come from other parts of the Universe, but there is no evidence that this really is so (nor that it isn't, for that matter). Also, specifically in the case of mushrooms, despite all their differences, they are probably too similar to other life on Earth to have evolved independently from it. If life did come from outer space, it may have been a common ancestor to ALL current life on Earth.

No, meteors do not come from deep inside the Earth. Meteors are space rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating streaks of light in the sky. Some meteors that survive and land on Earth's surface are known as meteorites.
Meteor shower. It occurs when Earth passes through the debris left behind by a comet, resulting in multiple meteors appearing to come from the same point in the sky.
Comet- rock that passes the earth, does not come into contact via gravity. Meteor- rock which is attracted to the earth via gravity, passes into the atmosphere and burns due to friction caused by particles Meteorite- rock, similar to meteor, however it has survived the atmosphere and touched the earths surface.
Meteorites are rocks from space that have landed on Earth's surface. They come from asteroids or comets and survive the journey through our atmosphere to reach the ground. Scientists study these celestial visitors to learn more about the composition of our solar system.
Shittaki mushrooms originally came from Japan thousands of years ago. Who discovered them?
In the course of the Earth's history, millions of them have.
Yes. That is what meteorites are.

A meteor is a lump of rock in space. When one of these pieces of rock comes close to the earth it may burn up in the atmosphere as a shooting star. An earth grazing meteor is a meteor that has come close enough to our atmosphere that it starts to burn up, but will still pass us by as the angle is too shallow. It will go back out into space having been deflected by earths gravity.
That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.
There aren't meteor showers "in" the Ursa Major, or "in" any specific constellation. Meteor showers happen here in Earth's atmosphere; sometimes they seem to come from a specific direction (not the "real" direction, but a combination of the meteorites' movement and Earth's movement around the Sun), and are named after the direction (i.e., constellation) from which they come. When meteorites thus come in groups, they are believed to be the remainder of some comet, that happen to cross Earth's path around the Sun.
It wasn't that big! The theory is that a large meteor hit the Earth and the explosion caused a large amount of dust in the upper atmosphere which caused climate change and the dinosaurs (or most of them) didn't survive.
Mushrooms would be vegetables.
No, meteoric water refers to water that originates from atmospheric condensation and precipitation, rather than being carried by a meteor. Meteors typically burn up in the Earth's atmosphere and do not bring water to Earth.
Yes, and no. Magnets originally come from the earth but humans found what the were made of and created their own
