The part of the mushroom plant that rises above the ground is only the fruiting part of the fungus. The rest of the plant lies under the ground in the form of a sraaaPaw mass of dense white tangled threads. These threads are called the mycelium or spawn. The mycelium threads grow from little spores, which are tiny dustlike particles shed from the mushroom. On these threads small whitish knobs of tissue bud out, and they push upward, expand, and finally break out. in an umbrella shape or in the form which is characteristic of each kind of mushroom. On most mushrooms, underneath the umbrella, there are little radiating gills, set very close together. It is on these gills that the tiny spores are developed. The spores then drop out and are carried away by the wind. When the spores fall on surfaces favorable for growth, they develop into new plants. Most mushrooms grow in moist shady woodlands, or in the n INFURIATES three-legge- ME r-- ifJL ffrffA A Us -- URP.:r -- BOUIE M CAPS" K' EARNED TH W lL RlGHT-AU- ABNER ,r V UNROLL IT IN PRIVATE U THE t ILX a I ( A. 7j URX I THOUGHT THIS WAS A COSTUME PARTY ER...COME IN, BUGS Nrxr ivVk y dontt r ) I MAY YOU 1 I'M AN AFRICAN YOURSELF Jl!! y I V REPRESENT.? - WORRY ABOUT IT.. ) INQUIRE WHAT WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I'M NOT THE ONLV FOWEt?
