Summary[edit]

Description
English: Amanita muscaria (Linnaeus, 1753) - fly agaric mushroom in Oregon, USA

Fungi are multicellular, non-photosynthesizing eucaryotes that are not capable of spontaneous movement. They feed on nutrients derived from organic matter in dead and decaying plants, such as wood, or in soil, or from living organisms. Those that feed on decaying wood or dead plant matter in soil are called saprotrophic fungi. Those that feed on living organisms are called parasitic fungi. Those that colonize a plant's roots and derive nutrients from (but not harming) the host plant are called mycorrhizal fungi.


Info. from signage at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science:

The red-capped variety of this poisonous mushroom is often replicated in art and pop culture. The species, however, includes varieties with orange, yellow, and white caps. A mycorrhizal mushroom, fly agaric fruits in July through September near lodgepole pine, spruce, and Douglas-fir trees.
