>Mold (<em>Penicillium</em>) may be the single most important fungus when it comes to human culture (with the possible exception of yeasts). Penicillium molds are almost entirely responsible for food spoilage, which is a pretty big deal. It’s biggest claim to fame, however, is that many of these molds produce the antibiotic Penicillin. Penicillin was first discovered by Alexander Fleming, and it began widespread use as an antibiotic in 1942. Antibiotics attack microorganisms, such as deadly bacteria, and this discovery was practically a magic bullet that could cure tuberculosis, gangrene, pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox, cholera, typhoid fever, typhus, syphilis, and countless other devastating illnesses. The statistics are staggering: penicillin itself is responsible for saving roughly 200 million lives. Penicillin directly led to the discovery of other antibiotics, which likely saved countless more lives (although it’s hard to estimate precisely how many). Antibiotics are also typically credited with increasing the lifespan of humans by almost ten years, on average. To sum things up, this is a very good, hard working little fungal girl 😊
In 1928, thanks to the work of Alexander Fleming, this became the very first antibiotic to discovered. It was purified and mass produced starting in the 1940s, radically changing the field of medicine forever. Thanks to antibiotics like penicillin, life expectancy has increased by 5-10 years, on average.

>The Artist’s Conk (<em>Ganoderma applanatum</em>) is currently my favorite mushroom! The mushroom grows on live trees, causing the wood to slowly rot. They continue growing year-round and can become truly huge. What makes it so unique is that the soft white underbelly turns dark when it is scratched. This has led it to becoming a popular medium for folk art: hikers and mushroom foragers will often scratch intricate designs into them, then dry and seal the artwork to preserve it. You can find numerous examples of this online. They are hard, tough, and inedible- however they are sometimes boiled to make a bitter tea.

> Amanita Virosa (aka “Destroying Angel”) is perhaps the most infamous mushroom on earth. It is a plain white mushroom that is immensely deadly.

>Amanita Muscaria (aka “Fly Agaric) is arguably the most iconic mushroom. It has a bright red cap covered in white spots, with white gills. The mushrooms are mildly poisonous, and also contain the psychoactive chemical muscimol which can cause wildly unpredictable effects in humans. Because of this, it is consumed for religious purposes in Siberia.

It is commonly cultivated and sold commercially (typically in Asia), and it is also known as “chestnut mushroom”, “velvet pioppini”, and Yanagi-matsutake.
