Intertwined life

The more we know about mushrooms, the less makes sense without them.

They are neither plants nor animals. They grow in the soil, fly in the air and live in our bodies. They range in size from microscopic creatures to the largest known organisms in the world. They were at the birth of life on land, can survive in open space and revel in radioactive radiation. And in fact, all life on Earth depends on them to a greater or lesser extent.
