The thoughts about mushroom and Charles Darwin

Sometimes people have thought about the similarity between toadstool and strawberry. Those mushrooms are poisonous, and if we think that toadstools are mushrooms, what would use dead cells as a nutrient, we must realize that the mushroom has benefited about these similarities. If some animal would eat the mushroom, what looks like a nice strawberry, that would cause deadly poisoning. This strange similarity has caused an idea in the mind of philosophers, who always are looking for answers for the most interesting and difficult questions.

The thing what this strange similarity has caused can the evolution be somehow controlled, what consists the thought, that could the species somehow control the internal evolution in the direction, where it wants? Of course, this kind of things are possible to make in the laboratory, but when we are thinking about the spontaneous forming of the species, we must ask one question more, and that is how those toadstools got their form? Or otherwise, how the strawberries got their form?

That kind of things can be explained by natural selection, that some mushrooms would take their form because the strawberries made animals think, that every red ball in nature was good to taste and full of vitamins, and then that idea started the nature to favor the mushrooms, what are looking like strawberries. Those mushrooms would get fresh nutrient if they would cheat the animal to eat those poisonous things.

But as we might realize the mysteries are not ending in the world. And the biggest mysteries can be found in our backyard. When we are thinking about Darwin and his Theory of Evolution, we must realize that he could collect all data, what that person needs from the British Islands. So the trip to Galápagos islands was unnecessary. If we want to make a model, how enriching the genetic material, we have not to go to some Galápagos islands.

We must only go to the British forests, and see how natural selection has influenced some butterflies, what are looking like the same butterflies, which can be found in continental Europe. But those butterflies have different colors. The same way the form of the toadstools has formed in history. But let's go back to Darwin, and his life, we must say that his Evolution theory has not questioned.

That thing is the fact and the thing what I wonder is, what was the role of Darwin in the famous "Beagle" ship? Was he some kind of scientist, member of the crew, or how he allowed to travel and collect samples? How did he explain those things to the crew and captain? There must be much space in that ship because Darwin could take his samples with him.
