Mushroom Universe

The kingdom of fungi combines some features of both plants and animals. This is one of the largest and most diverse groups of living organisms, which has become an integral part of all aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. According to the current estimates, the world exists from 100 to 250 thousand, and by some estimates up to 1, 5 million species of fungi.

Some fungi are very familiar to us, but many look very exotic and even surreal. Welcome to the world of fungi.
