A '''mushroom''' is the fruit of the mushroom ''plant'' and contains mushroom ''seeds'' called [[spores]]. The body of the mushroom is called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. Since the body of the mushroom is usually dispersed over a relatively large area it is rarely noticed. In nature some species of mushrooms may have a body that spreads over hundreds of square miles. Mushrooms are [[fungi]], and are usually placed in a Kingdom of their own apart from plants and animals. Mushrooms contain no [[chlorophyll]] and most are considered sacrophytes. That is, they obtain their nutrition from metabolizing non living organic matter. This means they break down and "eat" dead plants, like your compost pile does.
