If you have seen these magnificent beings sprout from the earth than you
have seen a mighty thing! Mushrooms are so
important in the cycle of life, they are vital to the very existence of
living organisms. What is a mushroom? Well, many people
wouldn't admit it, but most know nothing of mushrooms. Mushrooms
are a key element in life. I encourage all to know about these creatures-and
the important roll they play in our lives. First, mushrooms are rather-misunderstood.
For many years, mushrooms and other fungi were placed in the plant-kingdom,
but when you get right down to it, mushrooms share just a few characteristics
with plants but nothing more. They aren't autotrophic like plants, in
that I mean they don't make their own food, they must find it, almost
like animals. And mushrooms don't-come from
seeds like plants, they come from spores. Spores are like seeds in that
they are small beads of life. With the proper care each seed and
spore will develop-into the next plant and
fungus. This club is really a shout to the public that they are-people
who care for the pursuit of Mycology and mastering the technique of loving-these
beings! Let Mushrooms invade our hearts so we can both love and respect
them. 'Mushroom Meadows' Mycological Union of East Tennessee is here for-the
people who want to reach out and acquire the knowledge of Fungi and Mushrooms!
