Regarding the Tea-Mushroom which equals Kambucha it is a
yeast bacteria mixture.  There is a nice article on it in The
Mycologist 7(1): 12-13.  1993, by Kappel & Anken.  The
organisms are: Bacterium xylinum, B. xylinoides. B.
gluconium, and B. ketogenum, and the yeasts Saccharomyces
ludwigii, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Pichia fermentans. 
DRINK IN GOOD HEALTH I GUESS!
