Here are 5 reasons I like fungi:
1) There are so many different species, there are 75,000 scientifically identified species but it is thought that there are at least a million species yet to be identified!
2) There are so many variations in fungi. Anything from your classic toadstool to something growing out of an ant's head...(ew).
3) They are great for taking photos of, most of the photos I've taken are of fungi:
4) You can find them all year round, some mushrooms have chemicals to prevent them from freezing! That's pretty cool.
5) You never know what you will find. About two years ago I found a mushroom in some wood chip just walking though the city and when it was identified I found out it had only been seen in my country since 2004!
One last fact more to do with me is that even know I have liked mushys for over 10 years I have hardly ever eaten them, lol.
