Fungus is any of a diverse group of eukaryotic single-celled or multinucleate organisms that live by decomposing and absorbing the organic material in which they grow, comprising the mushrooms, molds, mildews, smuts, rusts, and yeasts, and classified in the kingdom Fungi or, in some classification systems, in the division Fungi (Thallophyta) of the kingdom Plantae.
In Pathology it is a spongy, abnormal growth as granulation tissue formed in a wound.

∙ 12y agoFungi are euakaryotic, heterotrophic organisms. Their main mode of nutrition is absorption; basically, they secret enzymes into the environment that degrade a specific substance or a general group of substances. The fungi then absorb the products. Many fungi have a thallus (body) composed of hyphae, which elongate by apical growth. In other words, only the tip of the hypha grows. Fungi are distinguished from other, similar organisms by the presence of the Spitzenkorper in the apical region of a hypha, the synthesis of lysine using the AAA pathway, storing energy as glycogen, having plate-like cristae in their mitochondria, and, in some groups, possessing a single, posterior, whiplash flagellum.
