๐ฟIf youโve seen these mushrooms in your yard, donโt consume them unless youโre 100% sure theyโre edible!
Mycelium is the underground part of fungi, like mushrooms, and itโs vital for soil health and plant growth.
Fun Facts about what mycelium does:
1. Recycles organic matter into rich soil.
2. Connects plants for nutrient sharing.
3. Used in sustainable packaging and leather.
4. Expands miles within days.
5. Breaks down pollutants.
The ones you see around Highfield Farm are safe to grow here! Their presence indicates rich soil health! ๐๐โจ
