Autumn is time for mushrooms

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Here is one very interesting photograph, what portraits mushrooms. Those mushrooms are looking like goblets, and the reason is that this form is collecting water, where the germs would waft. When some bug would drink that water, those germs will transfer in its body. Mushroom uses bugs for suffusing, and those germs would start to grow inside that animal, what would die. Or they start to grow just after that bug dies. They don't usually live very long time, and that is the thing, what we must always remember when we are thinking about the relationship between mushroom and other species in forests.


There is one very interesting thing in those mushrooms, the formation is growing linearly, but normally the mushrooms make the circles, and this makes those mushrooms interesting. The mushrooms are growing over the roots of the trees, and maybe the tree is delivering some sugars to those mushrooms, what would grow in lines. But when we are thinking about this kind of mushrooms and other things, we must say that nature is the wonderful thing.


And when we are thinking about the relationship between plants and animals, we must notice, that if somebody wants to get something, must that thing give something back. This is the reason, why flowers make nectar. The relationship between bugs and flowers is very complicated, and of course, those wasps and bees are pollinating the flowers.


But flowers also use those animals as the protectors. There are only a few animals, who dare to come close to the flowers, what are surrounded by wasps and other hymenopterans. If those bees bite, the deer would yell, and that would cost its life. Also, the bite would be targeted to the nose, and that will cause the of the ability of smell predators, what could be very dangerous. But as I wrote, if the plants want to get protection, they must give nectar.


There are some philosophers, who say that those vegetarian animals would make an alliance with humans and their cute outfit would protect them against wolves because humans hate those animals. But this is only the philosophical thing, about Gaia, the massive combination, where species create complicated alliances. And of course, those vegetarian animals give humans something also.


They give their flesh for protection, and they would make at least one calf. This would be guaranteed the continuation of the species because humans protect them against predators. That thing seems the small price for protection if we think that from our point of view. And the candle is very important for us. They give us the milk and other goods. And as we might say "if you want good treatment, make yourself the necessary part of the protector's life, that would guarantee the good treatment for your life".
