Mushroom

Type of Mushroom WHITE MUSHROOM White mushrooms, like all mushrooms, grow from microscopic spores, not seeds. Plants growing from spores are called fungi. A mature mushroom will drop as many as 16 billion spores. Spores must be collected in the nearly sterile environment of a laboratory and then used to inoculate grains or seeds to produce a product called spawn (the mushroom farmer’s equivalent of seed).Because mushrooms have no chlorophyll, they must get all their nutrients from organic matter in their growing medium.
