Fungi Report

Common Name: Honey Mushroom
Scientific Name: Armillaria

What does it look like? 
With a slime like figure on the top of the fungi cap, this mushroom ( known as the Honey Mushroom ) is just like any other mushroom with a stem, gills and spores.

Where do fungi live?
The Honey Mushroom is usually found growing on the underside of of a decomposed or decaying tree log or stump. 

What do they eat?
As the Honey Mushroom grows off a decaying log, it tends to feed off the logs roots and all of the nutrients and moisture from the wood. 

When and how do Fungi reproduce? 
There are millions of spores in the air we breath, which develop on and are released by a range of unique structures such as the Honey Mushroom,. For the spores to be available to drop, the gills of the fungi have to be vertical to the ground, otherwise the Mushroom will not be able to reproduce and grow.
