FUNGI

Mini Project Assignment: (40 points)

Choose a Basidiomycetes (CLUB FUNGI) fungi and give a brief description of it including a photo.

The description should include physical description, habitat, whether or not it’s edible or poisonous, common and scientific name, name of family of fungi. *Please Include any interesting facts about the fungi.

I don’t want repeats of the fungi species, so what you are going to do is enter on the commentaries box your name, the scientific name and common name of the fungi of your choice. The person that writes the fungi first has a priority over it. If another person writes the same one has to go back and chose another one.

*Fit everything to one page, use single space and include photo. (Yes you can print this pic from the internet) NO COPY PASTE. NO PLAGIARISM.
