However, biology professor Rodolfo Pinago of Northwestern University in Laoag, said the mushroom is anything but supernatural. He also warned that the fungus is poisonous and residents should stay away from it. A variety of the saprophytic fungi, emitting vapors is just one of its many characteristics.
Saprophytic fungi feed on dead plant and animal remains. Many are extremely beneficial, breaking down this organic material into humus, minerals and nutrients that can be utilized by plants. These are the fungi that help break down dried leaves, fallen branches and dead trees. The fungi usually exist in a microscopic form, but occasionally they may produce either an unusually prolific amount of growth, or fruiting bodies.
