1) The correct balance of nutrients.\n2) The correct enviromental conditions including water, pH, light etc. Note that darkness is not best for all fungi.\n3) Elimination of competition.

"Fastest Growing Plant\nSome species of the 45 genera of bamboo have been found to grow at up to 91 cm (3 ft) per day, or at a rate of 0.00003 km/h (0.00002 mph). Bamboo grows one third faster than the fastest growing tree. Some species can grow up to one meter per day. It is said you can almost watch it grow!"\n\n"Some species of bamboo rarely flower, some of them only every 10-100 or more years. Some of these species are monocarpic, the plant dying after the seed matures. Furthermore, all the individuals of the species will flower at the same time in a large geographical region. This is thought to have evolved to reduce the effect of predators of the seed, who would be unable to depend on a predictable food supply."

Chlorophyll-This is the green chemical that plants use to make energy.  Fungi do not have this, thus are more like bacteria, or even animals, in that they generate energy by bringing in nutrients and oxidizing them.  There are many things that plants have which fungi do not, including true roots.

Well, fungi reproduce by spores, so that is the ultimate reason they are there. Once a fungus gets going, it forms a mat of material that is usually not visible (a mycelial mat). The mushrooms you see are just the fruiting body of the fungus. Most of the organism is in the mycelial mat. When the temperature and humidity are right, this mat produces the mushrooms, but the mat itself needs to be feeding on something. Usually that is dead wood or leaves. The specifics depend on the exct type of fungus you have.

Bamboo:\nBamboo can outgrow any other plant in the world. It is as if its entire lifespan is one enormous growth spurt. To see for himself how fast bamboo can grow, Janssen once marked a stalk while visiting a bamboo plantation. He remembers taking a walk around the plantation and returning again to the marked stalk. "In two hours, it had grown above the mark by a few centimeters," he says. A Japanese scientist once measured what is believed to be the fastest growth rate for any bamboo. A culm of ma-dake, Japan's most common bamboo, grew nearly four feet in one 24-hour day.\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lostempires/china/miracle2.html\n\nFilamentous hyphae:\nIt has also been estimated that if all the filamentous hyphae produced in one day by a single massive soil fungus permeating acres of forest soil were laid end to end, they could extend for nearly a mile--but this is not substantiated.\nhttp://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0601c.htm#growing\n\nAlgae:\nDr. Isaac Berzin is the founder of GreenFuel Technologies Corporation. Berzin is working on a prototype that uses algae to convert power plant emissions into biofuels.  Dr Berzin insists that algae are the fastest growing plants on earth. Their doubling time is measured in hours.\n\nHe grows algae because they're super rich in oil. In some species, oil accounts for half the little creature's body mass. In fact, algae synthesize 30 times more vegetable oil per acre than plants like sunflowers or rapeseed. \n\nAlgae biodiesel can be used to run engines, or converted into methane or fermented into alcohol. And here's the best part: algae eat carbon dioxide for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And one thing the global warming world has too much of is CO2 from fossil fuel burning power plants.\nhttp://www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=06-P13-00002&segmentID=3

many plants tend to be healtheir and grow faster and produce more using hydroponic means.\n\nHowever not all plants can be adapted to such means.\n\nSee the sources below for more information.

Spores are the means of fungal reproduction and distribution.  They also use hyphae, small root-like structures that can permeate and spread.\n\nThere are any types of spores, including asexual and sexual reproducing, so I'd encourage you to go to the link below to learn more.

Some seeds take very little time, and some seeds take longer.  Alfalfa seeds and bean sprouts are really fast, but other seeds take a long time.  Try putting the seed on the side of a clear plastic cup with cotton balls in the middle.  Fill it up with water and then you can watch the seed to see how long it takes the seed to sprout.

Live bacteria seems unlikely. Bacterial spores, no problems.\n\nYou would have more luck trying to isolate fungi.

Fungi can grow in almost any area on or in the body, but certain groups of people are particularly at risk of developing a fungal infection. These include immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from AIDS or leukaemia, cystic fibrosis sufferers often get chest infections caused by fungi, burns patients are very at risk of fungal infections on burnt areas of skin, fungi like to grow in moist warm areas. The most common area i guess is finger and toe nails, especially in summer when folks are taking off their shoes and walking on the grass, a lot of fungal toenail infections are picked up then.\nAs for treatment there are a range of antifungal medicines, it all depends on the species of fungus causing the infection.

At the speed of light... than the chloroplast from the plant turn it into energy

The answer is no they do not have roots.\n Toadstools and mushrooms are all fungi and fungi do not have roots but root like organs called rhizoids or rhizoidal hyphae ( root like branches ) to absorb the nourishment. \n In both the cases mentioned above what you see above the ground is only the fruiting body of the fungus. Rest of the fungus lies below the soil surface.

because mushrooms are a type of fungus growth....moisture greatly accelerates their growth.they cant survive in dry conditions.

yeast are a type of fungus, you can read about it, hear\n\nhttp://www.yeastgenome.org/VL-what_are_yeast.html

Mushrooms are a fungus and fungus spreads via spores

Yeast and fungi are parasites i.e. they dont synthesize their food  and has to thus depend upon other sourse.  They get their energy from the substrate they growing.\n\nmould or also called as fungi when grow on bread, it utilizes bread as its food, and grow, multiply and synthesize some enzymes which degrade  bread and gives bad odour.\n \ni am microbiologist myself for any other queires you can im me on arya_k2006.....hope it helps!!!
