26 Photos That Mushrooms Are Like Aliens In The Natural World
Did you know that mushrooms are both plants and animals at the same time? Probably, from a biological point of view, it is so incorrect to say, but the fact is that mushrooms combine the features of both plants and animals, therefore scientists distinguish them into a separate kingdom – Fungi. And looking at many representatives of this kingdom, it seems that they are definitely not of this world, and it is even surprising that some time ago some person decided that these strange creatures can be eaten (but not all).
For centuries, the gathering has been a necessity, not a pleasant pastime, and for people in some parts of the world, it still is. However, for the majority, going to the forest for mushrooms or berries is now more of a hobby and just an opportunity to breathe fresh air. And, of course, take beautiful photos and share them online!
