Feeds off sunscreen residue from human skin cells. It can be found in hybrid climate mostly common in tropical soil. Symbiotic relationship with human skin cells. Spreads it spores by spitting mucus into moist and dry sand soil, that is absorbed and by human skin cells and then spread by skin cells.

Svamp som enbart finns i munnen på polarräv, där den lever av matrester och utsöndrar antibiotiska ämnen som räven har nytta av. Den sprider sig mellan olika rävar när de träffas och slickar varandra.

This fungus spreads its spores with sonic waves from earth moving - sonic pressure builds up in its tubes underground and then builds up to create an explosion above ground.

It lives near pine and mapple trees

Builds a catapult structure to throw up its spores again and travel along with them

This fungus is found at the estuary of rivers. It has a hairy appearance (on the right)

The fruiting body (top left of the picture) has a sail that allows it to float away. Below left are the spores;

There are about 70 to 120,000 species known species of fungi. About 1,200 new species are described every year. There are an estimated 3 million fungi worldwide.

WHICH MEANS THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 MILLION SPECIES OF FUNGI TO BE DISCOVERED.

Think about the mushroom (or "fruiting body") as a strategy from the fungus to carry more spores and to make them spread far to explore further horizons. What shape will your fungus take?

Now that you know what makes a fungus a fungus, pick from the material available and create your own yet-undiscovered fungus! Think about its morphology (how it looks) as well as its functions:

Morphology (represent one or more):

Hyphae: the tube-like structures which branch out, network and create the dense mycellium

Spores: the tiny seed-like structures that float away from the main fungus to create a new fungus

Sporange: The structure that contains all the spores

Mushroom: also called the fruiting body. Made up of the hyphae, carries the spores, often in a recognisable shape

Function (Think about a main one)

Mating: the hyphae will need to connect to mate and create a new fungus

Nutrition: Feeding happens through the tube-like hyphae

Communication: Feeding happens through the tube-like hyphae

Spreading Spores: the spores need to disperse far from the parent fungus to start a new life far away.

Here are some ideas to name your fungus. The rule is that is has to follow a Binomial nomenclature and it should be in latin (or latinised by adding -us or -a or-are at the end of your word in any language)

Once you have created your Fungus, and thought about its characteristics, you are ready to add is a specimen to our collection!

1. Take a picture. Keep the background dark to make it "pop".

2. Then on Padlet, you can click the + to add your fungus: upload your picture. You do not have to log in to add your fungus image and the description all at once.

3. Add in the description (If you did log in, you can go back to your fungus later to modify it)
