Species #11

Common name: mushroom
Scientific name: Eumycotes
A Mushroom is produced by fungal organism. I have witnessed if we have alot of moisture on our grass and it is really humid, mushrooms will develop in the yard. Mushrooms acquire nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter including animal wastes. Mushrooms are decomposers and are valuable because they release inorganic substances that are taken up by plants.
Mushrooms are also a food source to other species including humans.
I think that mushrooms are domesticated because we eat them.
