Basidiomycota: Mushrooms

A Basidiomycota is a large group of fungi. A mushroom is a fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Some mushrooms are toxic, but some are edible if cooked correctly. Many species of mushrooms appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly, which makes it almost impossible to predict when they are going to show up.
