None of the fungi/fungus groups are edible except edible ones of course.
Mushrooms are fungi, not plants; they belong in the Kingdom Fungi.
People think of mushrooms as a type of plant. Mushrooms in fact belong to a separate group of organisms all together called fungi. Other types of fungi are toadstools, puffballs, truffles, yeast, bread mold and skin infections such as tinea.
The term "mushroom" can refer to several groups in the fungi Kingdom, most commonly the phyla Basidiomycota or Agaricomycetes of the subkingdom Dikarya. The class Basidiomycetes contain the mushroom group commonly called "club fungi." The class Ascomycetes are the "sac fungi." The characteristics of these groups that are traditionally associated with mushrooms and toadstools is a fruiting body with a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills or pores. Similar organisms called mushrooms that don't look like traditional mushrooms and toadstools have names, like puffball, stinkhorn, and morel.
Mushrooms are a diverse group of fungi that can be edible or not, while magic mushrooms, such as Psilocybe cubensis, contain psychedelic compounds like psilocybin and psilocin that produce hallucinogenic effects when consumed. Consuming magic mushrooms can lead to altered perception, hallucinations, and changes in mood and consciousness.
Fungi includes a diverse group of organisms like mushrooms, mold, and yeast. They are important for processes like decomposition, nutrient cycling, and symbiotic relationships with other organisms. Some fungi also have economic importance in food production and medicine.
Fungi.
The fungus family. Molds are group of fungi called hyphomycetes. These are characterized by filamentous hyphae and producing air borne spores or conidia. These are basically decomposers and produce antibiotic substances. Mushrooms are another group of fungi belonging to the family Agaricaceae. Mushrooms have a macroscopic fruiting body producing sexual spores. Some mushrooms are poisonous, others are edible and are a good source of proteins and minerals.
Mushrooms are Fungi.
Mushrooms are fungi, not plants; they belong in the Kingdom Fungi.
Mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi are all members of this group, as are the plant rusts and smuts. This group, which contains approximately 15,000 known species, is distinguished by the presence of a club- shaped reproductive organ called the basidium.
Toadstools belong to the group of organisms known as fungi.
A big group of mushrooms is known as fungi.
The group of fungi that includes umbrella-shaped mushrooms and puffballs is called Basidiomycota. This group is characterized by the production of basidiospores on specialized structures called basidia, which are typically found on the underside of mushroom caps or within puffball fruiting bodies.
Puffballs, mushrooms, molds and yeasts
Mushrooms were originally classifed in the phylum Basidiomycota, and the sac fungi were originally placed in the phylum Ascomycota. Recently, these two phyla have been merged to form the Dikaryomycota.
Fungi is a group with technical name Mycophyta.
Mushrooms, toadstools, and molds belong to the fungi kingdom. Fungi are a separate group of organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their surroundings. They play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers and in nutrient cycling.
