On ancient Earth, there used to be only 14,000, but society's evolved since then! Here, though, I think there are just the old ones? But, anyway - they're really interesting. Did you know, there's one kind of mushroom that will consume itself when it's picked? Like a self-defense mechanism.
Fungi that we usually see are actually the fruit of a different, much larger underground fungus, too. Think of it like an apple on a apple tree - they're the reproductive bodies. Isn't that interesting?
