In this film titled The Magic of Mushrooms, professor Richard Fortey delves into the fascinating and normally hidden kingdom of fungi. From their spectacular birth, through their secretive underground life to their final explosive death, Richard reveals a remarkable world that few of us understand or even realise exists - yet all life on Earth depends on it.
In a specially built mushroom lab, with the help of mycologist Dr Patrick Hickey and some state-of-the-art technology, Richard brings to life the secret world of mushrooms as never seen before and reveals the spectacular abilities of fungi to break down waste and sustain new plant life, keeping our planet alive.
Beyond the lab, Richard travels across Britain and beyond to show us the biggest, fastest and most deadly organisms on the planet - all of them fungi. He reveals their almost magical powers that have world-changing potential - opening up new frontiers in science, medicine and technology.
<h3><span style="color: #993366;">What are Mushrooms?</span></h3>
A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus. It is normally produced above ground on soil or on its food resource.
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the planted white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is frequently put on those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and also gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the bottom of the cap. These gills create microscopic spores that assist the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface area.
"Mushroom" explains a selection of gilled fungis, with or without stems, and the term is used a lot more typically, to describe both the fleshy fruiting physical bodies of some Ascomycota as well as the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, relying on the context of the word.
Types differing the standard morphology typically have more particular names, such as "bolete". Also, "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel". Plus, gilled mushrooms themselves are typically called "agarics" in reference to their resemblance to Agaricus or their place Agaricales. By extension, the term "mushroom" can likewise mark the entire fungi when in culture; the thallus (called a mycelium) of species developing the fruiting bodies called mushrooms; or the types itself.
