The Ark is designed to preserve at-risk foods that are sustainably produced, unique in taste, and part of a distinct ecoregion. Contrary to the most literal definition of plant and animal conservation , the Ark of Taste aims to maintain edibles in its purview by actively encouraging their cultivation for consumption. [ 1 ]
About 60 mushroom species can grow in the fairy ring pattern. [6] The best known is the edible Scotch bonnet ( Marasmius oreades ), commonly known as the fairy ring champignon. One of the largest rings ever found is near Belfort in northeastern France.
Definition of Spawn: Spawn is a type of medium present in mushroom tissue that propagates the fungus such as Trichoderma which is the root system of mushrooms. [ 5 ] Mycelium, or actively growing mushroom culture, is placed on a substrate—usually sterilized grains such as rye or millet—and induced to grow into those grains.

It is the largest group of mushroom-forming fungi, and includes more than 600 genera and over 25,000 species. [1] Molecular phylogenetics analyses of ribosomal DNA sequences have led to advances in our understanding of the Agaricales, and substantially revised earlier assessments of families and genera .

Gondwanagaricites (meaning "Gondwanan mushroom fossil") is an extinct monotypic genus of gilled fungus in the order Agaricales from the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil. [1] It contains the single species G. magnificus , and it is the oldest known mushroom fossil known to date.
