An analysis of previously uncharted chemical contents, mostly carbohydrates, in U.S.-consumed mushrooms shows that these fruity edible bodies of fungi could be tailored into dietary plans to help fill various nutritional needs.

What exactly is the growth behaviors’ of the mushroom?
Might it be growing by itself? If there are clusters, are they tightly packed, so that the bases of the stems are touching, or even fused? If the mushroom is growing from a log, does it stick out laterally from the log, or does it sit on top of the log--or does it have a curved stem that comes out of the side of the log but aligns the cap so that it is perpendicular to the environment?
