Dear Blogger Mates,
My Biology 11 class is now beginning to learn about the different types of animals as part of our invertebrate unit. We will be learning about lots of exciting, extrordinary types of animals. As a further study and more hands on activities took place Ms.Iannone my Biolody 11 teacher thought it would be a great chance for us to travel an actual eco-system and have a more hands on look and feel of how and where the funguses etc live and what kind of environment and position they take part in. She took us to the Fleetwoood Park Forest just across the field of our school to explore and have a miniature scavenger hunt to find as many fungi as we could on the list of funguses she handed to us. as we traveled the forest Matthew and I found a whole ton of extrordinary types of fungi. from jelly to fungi that looks like stairs. since fungi is very susceptible to pollution i suspected we would find nearly nothing since pollution in the world is at a very high amount right now. Instead i found endless amounts of dieerent fungis. Although these fungi are very amusing and eye catching they may not loook harmfull but some funguses can cause hospitalization or sometimes even death and in goofy situations the santa clas mushroom can cause the same hallucinations as the ones you would have recieved if you have consumed the drug "mushrooms". at the beginning of this unit when we found out we may have to touch fungi i was sickened because unlike some people i do not like fungi but as we learn more about the fungus and fungi the less im afraid and as of now im completely fine with touch fungi. Fungi is a very cool source of information from being such a tiny little growth fungi is unremarkable. Growing all over the world, fuingi can look like anything. colours that some Fungus contains is beautiful from bright neon to deep darker colors this lichen looks like a beautiful painting someone has painted. As i keep talking about fungi i may want to tell you that talk to an expert beforte mushroom picking and fungi touching because although some fungi will look harmless i n could be the death cap your touching which causes over 90% of mushroom related deaths in a year. Saying all of this here are some photos on fungus.
