Mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually fungi, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. While they can be cultivated, they easily grow wild in many regions of the world. Reference: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=97#descr

Bracket fungus, also known as shelf fungus, is easily recognized by the semicircle-shaped shelves growing around the base of a tree. A key identifying characteristic of bracket fungus is the growth that emerges right out of the tree bark. Bracket fungus does not have stems similar to mushrooms.
