When you imagine the largest creature in the world, you would probably not think about a mushroom, right? Turns out, the largest living creature on our planet is a species of mycelium called Armillaria Ostoyae or the honey mushroom, which grows in Oregon's Malheur National Forest. Some scientists believe that mushrooms are intelligent and have some of the most complex and extensive communication systems in the world. They also have some sort of transportation services, if you like, that move crucial nutrients between interconnected plants. Let's take a look at the most useful and the weirdest mushrooms in the world! #brightside Credit: CC-BY-SA-3.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0: Grifola frondosa: Patrick Harvey (pg_harvey) – mushroomobserver.org, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grifola_frondosa_57503_cropped.jpg#/media/File:Grifola_frondosa_57503_cropped.jpg Büscheliger Rasling: Toffel, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lyophyllum_decastes_2.JPG#/media/File:Lyophyllum_decastes_2.JPG Csoportos álpereszke: Eric Steinert, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lyophyllum_decastes.jpg#/media/File:Lyophyllum_decastes.jpg Lactarius indigo: Dani (Mya Celia) – mushroomobserver.org, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012-04-03_Lactarius_indigo_(Schwein.)_Fr_212567.jpg#/media/File:2012-04-03_Lactarius_indigo_(Schwein.)_Fr_212567.jpg Lactarius indigo: Acrinaldi, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lactarius_indigo,_Guatemala.jpg#/media/File:Lactarius_indigo,_Guatemala.jpg Wavy Cap: Tim Sage – https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/12435190, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Psilocybe_cyanescens_12435190.jpg#/media/File:Psilocybe_cyanescens_12435190.jpg
