I use the movement of water inside these plants as electrical resistance. So when I plug circuit cables to them, even small changes in the said resistance due to the plant’s natural bioelectric charge manifest as notes of music.”
Bleeding tooth mushrooms grow in forested, and often mountainous parts of North America, Europe, Iran, and South Korea. Like many mushrooms, they frequently grow near the roots of coniferous trees.

Here's The Components All fungi use spores to reproduce. Spores are like the pollen in plants. They can be dispersed (spread) by wind, water or insects depending on the species. This is a book designed to have adults supporting young naturalists to learn about fungi through a hands-on approach: "Make a Spore Print," "Design Your Own Fungus," "Lichen-Looking Expedition," "Make Your Own Fungus-Fighting Mix," "Design a Postage Stamp," "Bundle Die with Fungi," "Send a Soil Sample," etc. Because of the dangers of interacting with fungi in the wild without supervision, I would not give this to children for independent reading unless they are 12 and older.

Fungi were considered plants as late as the 1960s, but several big differences between the two led to a reclassification. For one, fungi are made of chitin, which is what a crab shell is made of. This makes fungi more closely related to mammals than plants. Second, fungi don’t produce their own food – unlike plants, which photosynthesize. Fungi are decomposers that break down their food and absorb nutrients via the large surface area created by the hyphae. From Death Comes LifeThe other danger is implied.

Turkey tail contains two polysaccharopeptides that have impressive immune-boosting properties – Krestin or Polysaccharide-K (PSK) and Polysaccharide Peptide (PSP) ( 1 3). Studies show that PSP increases monocytes, types of white blood cells that are key immune-system defenders ( 1 4). In addition, PSK activates macrophages, or specialized white blood cells that protect your body from harmful, invading microbes ( 1 5). Due to their natural ability to strengthen the immune system, PSK and PSP are approved drugs in Japan and China and are often given to patients with weakened immune systems ( 1 6).
