Mushrooms are an independent group from plants and animals. They live everywhere in the air, in water, on land, in soil, on plants and animals. Some mushrooms are microscopic while others are large. Mycology is the discipline of biology that studies fungi. Mushrooms appear like plants, but are closely related to animals. Mushrooms are unable to produce their own food, so they get their food from other sources. Mushrooms come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and are of great economic importance.
