What is Mycology?
Mycology is a branch of Biology and is the study of Fungi. The Fungi classification includes many different types of mushrooms, rusts, molds, and yeasts. A combination of growth, survival rate, and environmental factors such as nitrogen, carbon, potassium, phosphorous and carbohydrates results in the development of fruiting bodies of mushrooms, although some species of mushrooms require more complex sugars.
The Benefits of Mycelium
Mycelium is a fungal mycorrhizal network of fine strands or hairs called hyphae developing into underground branches of information, connecting to plants, trees, dead matter of all kinds, including fallen plants, trees, and even animals. Mycelia or mycelium becomes a synergistic relationship to nature, taking in carbon and sugars to develop fruiting bodies, in return giving carbon dioxide to the plant kingdom which is needed for their benefit and well-being.
What Kind of Mushroom is It?
Many people in our state of Indiana love to forage in state parks and forests looking for many edible gourmet and even medicinal mushrooms, especially in early spring. Mushroom hunters look for Morels (Morchella americana), Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa), Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus), Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), and Turkey Tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor). There are many other species throughout the Midwest.
Always be careful to fully identify any mushrooms you may come upon because there could be poisonous mushrooms located near edible mushrooms.
