Are there mushrooms in the Everglades National Park?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't think so because mushrooms need 100%-95% humidity.

Actually, they do. I live in the Mojave desert in California, and my new [three months] lawn has gotten a bunch of them. I'm only watering twice a day for 5 minutes, but it still must be enough to keep the grass moist.

Is the Everglades man made?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, some parts of the Everglades are man made. Not all of them are man made but people had to make the Everglades bigger so that the water would not flood.

Who owns the Florida Everglades?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Everglades like most national parks and environmental sites are under the World Heritage Centre under UNESCO under the United Nations. Here are the lists of other sites too http://whc.unesco.org/en/list .

The above statement is 100%, utterly, and completely FALSE.

Neither the UN nor UNESCO has any control or ownership role in any World Heritage Site WHATSOEVER. Article 6 of the World Heritage Convention specifically disclaims any such ownership or control by UNESCO, something that is completely clear to anybody who takes the time to read it.

Everglades NP, like all parts of the National Parks Service, is administered by that government body and owned by the U.S. government.

When was the everglades discovered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ponce de Leon passed through the Everglades around 1512 when he discovered Florida and went on to map the keys. Ernest F. Coe discovered the Everglades in 1928 and created an association to lobby to have the area a National Park. It is important to understand that there were Native Americans already living there in the 1500s, so the word "discover" probably doesn't apply to the Europeans.

One of the reasons that the Everglades became a national park is because there is no other place like it on this planet. It is a river, several hundred kilometers wide, flowing slowly through wetlands and grass.

How were the Everglades formed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Everglades are subtropical wetlands located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large watershed. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades are shaped by water and fire, experiencing frequent flooding in the wet season and drought in the dry season.
