| Since 1969 Fungi were first officially recognized as a distinct group. Scientist more recently, using DNA sequences and comparisons of cell structure, have learned that Fungi are in fact more closely related to animals than they are to plants. Superficially, they remind us more of plants than animals because they don’t move, but scratch the biological surface just a little and that’s just about the only thing they have in common. |

For me they will always be a plant :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that fact.
ReplyDeletethanks Andy for the science lesson.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting tidbit.
ReplyDeleteWell! I did not know that Andy, merci beaucoup!
ReplyDeleteScience is able to uncover some marvellous "secrets!" What wonderful colour contrast!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting- I did not know that!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about the cell structure. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHmm...so a vegetarian should not be eating mushrooms?
ReplyDeleteThat I did know. They're also quite photogenic in their own way, particularly for textures.
ReplyDeleteRegardless---- a little butter, a little garlic and wine.....
ReplyDeleteNice photo!!
ReplyDeleteHow weird!
ReplyDeleteQuite something to think about.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know all of that either - thanks for the lesson, always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThat is good for now. It will change in a decade.
