Why are mushrooms important?

• Most of soil is mushroom matter mixed with dirt,

so it's essential. The fungi mycelium breaks up

plant fiber to decompose it so that new plants

can grow. The lack of mycelium in the soil is

what causes desertification because dirt alone

doesn't retain the water needed for plant life.

• So nothing lives without support from

mushrooms. It is the earth and in many respects

the forebearer of mankind.
