Rachael's Journal Entry on Fungi

The fungi species that I chose is Mycena galericulata. It is a commonly called the late fall polypore and bucket fungi, which is an edible mushroom. It is thought to be the tastiest when it is smaller, because it has more water concentration and will get hardened once it grows bigger. There are also researches showing that it could possibly have an effect on inhibiting tumor growth and cancer. Other fungi species in the same family also have the usage of helping the human immune system, for example, healing wounds.
