New research reveals that mushrooms and other fungi can keep themselves cooler than their surroundings.
, it hasn't been studied that closely. Here, the team analyzed mushrooms in the wild and other fungal species in the lab to check on temperature differences.
Through lab experiments where water content and temperature could be manipulated, the researchers confirmed that mushrooms regulate their temperature through evapotranspiration, or releasing water into the air. Substantial amounts of water can be held under the mushroom caps before being released slowly and evenly.
"We show that yeast and mold colonies are also colder than their surroundings and use the process of evapotranspiration to give off heat,"the researchers."Relative coldness appears to be a general characteristic observed across the fungal kingdom."
