Mushrooms

My growth is a bit odd to a lot of people.

For some reason I like it in the dark.
I feed from fossils and things that have died.
They are so yummy!

I grow very secretly.
But I am part of a bigger clan - the fungi!
Other people think I'm poison.
But I am not. 
Well, at least not all of us.

So I guess there's a misunderstanding.
I am rather very delicious and healthy.
My kind is part of the good side.

Trust me! :)
