There are two big groups of fungi, namely yeasts and filamentous fungi. Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi. Most filamentous fungi will make a type of mushroom as part of their sexual reproductive phase.

Yeasts are mostly unicellular, the individual cells do not stick together, while filamentous fungi form long hyphae composed of many cells.

Some examples of filamentous fungi include Botrytis cinerea (causes grey mould rot), Aspergillus niger(causes black mould) and Penicillium sp. (used to make Brie and Camembert, produce penicillin, causes blue-green mould on bread)

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is probably the most famous yeast, used to make wine, beer, bread and Marmite. Other types like Candida albicans cause medical problems.
