Mushroom Burger @ Tagaytay City
INTEGRATED ENGLISH FOR TODDLERS - FIELD TRIP
Sept. 27, 2008

Our second stop of our educational trip. Mushroom burger (yum!yum!yum!). Because of the travel time from Makati to Laguna to Tagaytay, I'm sure everyone's hungry for some mushroom burgers. We arrived their 10:00am perfect for early snack. Before having our burgers, we visit the mushroom house where they are taking care of mushroom that they sell at the restaurant. Honestly, nothing much to see the room is dark and moist with the small bag for the mushroom to grow, but its educational because the guide discuss and answer our questions about the mushrooms. Entrance of the mushroom house.

After the kids and parents visit the house the kids enjoy the playground. Their's a slide, see-saw, and swing. Their is also a wishing well and table and chair that we can take a rest. They are giving free mushroom burger and juice together with the trip. While relaxing we experience the delisious mushroom burger.

ALL ABOUT MUSHROOM.

A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap, just as do store-bought white mushrooms.

The word "mushroom" can also be used for a wide variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word.

Forms deviating from the standard form usually have more specific names, such as "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their placement in the order Agaricales. By extension, "mushroom" can also designate the entire fungus when in culture or the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms.
