My Topic

I am proposing this as my topic on the intern application: the affect of acid rain on fungi.
I thought of it mostly because of its originality and because fungi is kingdom of life less known about then most others and its good to educate people about how it can also be damaged by acid rain, not just the wisconsin fast plant or brine shrimp.
I plan on using the Enokitake mushroom as the fungi I'm experimenting on. I'm using this type of mushroom because it's a fast growing, fast fruiting mushroom made to be grown for fun in a household (so it comes with a whole kit on growing it).
