Yes. Mycoviruses are viruses that infect certain fungi including mushrooms/toadstools, moulds like penicillin, and mycorrhizae. They can therefore affect production of edible mushrooms, penicillin and plants that benefit from useful symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi on their roots.

What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.

What did the first viruses do?
Infect cells.

Bacteriophages
Can viruses infect plants by themselves?
no
Why do viruses typically affect only one or a few species?
Viruses attack animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Some viruses can infect only specific kinds of cells. For instance, many viruses, such as the potato leaf-roll virus, are limited to one host species or to one type of tissue within that species. A few viruses affect a broad range of hosts. An example of this is the rabies virus. Rabies can infect humans and many other animal hosts.
What do fungi and viruses have in common?
all viruses and fungi can be contracted by walking barefoot in damp areas
