Can fungus live in water?
Fungi belong to a group called a Kingdom. Fungi have similar characteristics to plants and are sometimes mistakenly put in the Plant Kingdom. Plants have chlorophyll that helps them make their own food and makes them green. Fungi have no chlorophyll. Fungi decay dead organic matter or grow on other organisms to get nutrients for growth. Animals belong to their own Kingdom as do bacteria. Where do they live and grow? Fungi can be found in many different environments. Fungi will grow on almost anything. Fungi can be found outside in forests, gardens and even in your own backyard. Some are good to eat, but some are deadly. They can also grow on your feet causing them to become itchy, known as athlete's foot. Some fungi can cause ringworm on the body. Many species are often found on foods in the form of yeasts and molds.

What makes fungi more primative than other plants?
Fungi are not really plants. Fungi branched off from animals 600 million years ago. Fungi are creatures of the soil. They don't synthesize food from sunlight, as plants do. Their hyphae can extend for hundreds of meters through undisturbed soils, and they can transport nutrients anywhere within their hyphal network. Fungi often form symbiotic connections (mycorrhizae) with surface plants. They draw nutrients that are widely distributed through soil (like phosphorous), and concentrate them in the root zones of plants, which need them for flowering and setting fruit. In exchange, the plant provides sugars and starches for the fungi. Fungi are the largest organisms on the planet. There are examples where a single organism covers many, many acres.
