Detailed explanation-1: -Mushrooms aren’t really plants, they are types of fungi that have a “plantlike” form-with a stem and cap (they have cell walls as well). This is really just the “flower or fruit” of the mushroom-the reproductive part which disperses the spores.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mushrooms are fungi. They belong in a kingdom of their own, separate from plants and animals. Fungi differ from plants and animals in the way they obtain their nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi are frequently infected with two or more unrelated viruses and also with defective dsRNA and/or satellite dsRNA. There are also viruses that simply use fungi as vectors and are distinct from mycoviruses because they cannot reproduce in the fungal cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mushroom virus X (MVX), a complex of multiple positive-sense single stranded RNA (ss(+)RNA) viruses, is a major pathogen of typical A. bisporus crops. MVX can manifest a variety of symptoms in crops and is highly infective and difficult to eradicate once established in host mycelium.
