CRAP !!

The cauliflower fungus exists but isn't deadly and doesn't grow next to its namesake.

It got its name for its resemblance, not proximity to, the cauliflower.

The fungus is mostly found at the roots of pine trees but also grows at the roots of oaks. It is edible and has a sweet smell.

I knew q2 and q4.
About the Earth, isn't Gaia a god? I thought it is, although not among the main Greek pantheon of gods (Olympians).
In Greek mythology, Gaia , also spelled Gaea is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life. She is the mother of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans . She is also called "the Earth Mother" but the Earth is not named for her.
The name Earth derives from the eighth century Anglo-Saxon word erda which means ground or soil.
