Fungi are among the most interesting and beautiful creatures. Did you know they are genetically closer to animals than to plants? Growth on very specific substrates is also an important property...for identification and for practical applications.

    I understand that certain mushrooms (or other fungi) are specific to a particular species of tree to produce the rotting wood. For example, beech trees harbor specific mushrooms or "club fungi" or "dead man's fingers."
