Talk:Fungus

I suppose this article is going to be a strictly biological introduction to the realm "fungi". I suggest there should be a "mushroom" article, dedicated to people who like mushroom hunting (and cooking-eating, of course). I might start working on it, and I'd like to start from the version in the Italian WP: many mushroom experts there and the page is very well structured.

I have a question, though: is mushroom an adequate title? Here I need help from some English-speaking guy. As far as I know, "mushroom" is any fruiting body. But it seems someone uses "mushroom" for edible varieties, or (even more strict) for those fungi you find at the market.

Any suggestions?
