Fungus

Fungus is a term used to describe a group of organisms that includes mushrooms, molds, mildews, and yeast. Fungi can be found in a variety of environments, including soil, water, and air. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi reproduce through the production of spores. Fungi are important to the environment because they help to break down organic matter and recycle it into usable forms of energy. They also help to create soil structure, provide food for other organisms, and produce antibiotics. Fungi can also cause disease in humans, animals, and plants.
