FUN-GUY FACTS

• Fungi are some of the most important living things on Earth.

• ‘Fungi’ just means more than one fungus.

• They are like the ‘internet of the forest’, keeping plants and microscopic animals connected to each other in ways that help them all to grow.

• Mushrooms are only the fruiting part of a fungus. Most of a fungus is made up of a huge spongy web of fine threads called ‘mycelium’
(which kinda sounds like “my-silly-arm”) and mostly lives underground
or in dead wood.

• Mycelium can stretch for miles and attach itself to all kinds of things from dead wood and rocks to living plant roots and micro-organism colonies.
This is how the fungus eats, but it can also use its mycelium to share food around to other living things connected to it! How generous is that!?

• It is believed that the biggest living thing on the planet is a honey fungus
in Oregon, USA that stretches for two miles!

lyrics

People say I’m a fun guy
but that’s more than what I am
you can call me Fun Gus
come underground to my pad to jam
There’s not mushroom down there,
But we’ve got mycelium
I wanna wrap mycelium around ya
Til super-kingdom come

I wanna wrap mycelium around ya
wrap mycelium around ya
wrap mycelium around ya

Well you know funghi like me
need a bit of fun gal company
I’m gonna decompose you a love song
‘Symbiosis’ in the key of G

And when I party,
you know I love to break it down
Eatin dead wood tastes so good.
And you know I’m gonna share it round

I wanna wrap mycelium around ya
wrap mycelium around ya
wrap mycelium around ya
