How is fungi harmful to other living things?
Fungi can be harmful to other living things by causing various diseases in plants, animals, and humans. Fungal pathogens can infect crops and reduce crop yield, cause diseases in animals, and lead to infections in humans such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections. Fungi can also produce toxins that are harmful when ingested or inhaled.
What two types of symbiosis involve fungi?
Zygomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are mutualistic with the roots of many plants. Fungal hyphae either forms a sheath around the outside of the roots or actually penetrates the root and enter directly into the root cells. The presence of the fungus increases the surface area of the root so it can absorb more water and nutrients. In return for helping the plant, the fungi uses sugars produced during photosynthesis.
What eats fungi?
Fungi are in forms of foods we eat. Mushrooms are fungi, and humans eat mushrooms, so humans eat fungi.
Fungi can feed on both living and dead organisms?
Yes, fungi can be saprophytic, feeding on dead organic matter, or parasitic, obtaining nutrients from living organisms. Some fungi can also form symbiotic relationships with other organisms, such as mycorrhizal associations with plant roots, where both parties benefit from the interaction.
How do fungus-like protists differ from fungi?
Fungus-like protists lack chitin in their cell walls and have motile spores, while fungi have chitin in their cell walls and non-motile spores. Fungus-like protists also have more varied lifestyles, including both parasitic and saprotrophic behavior.
Are fungi all harm full?

Describe two symbiotic relationships involving fungi and members of another kingdom?
Parasitic and symbiotic.Examples of parasitic fungi are ringworm and the like. They grow on the organism, and feed off of it. It provides no benefit to the host organism.Symbiotic fungi would be lichen. It is an algae growing on top of a fungus. The Algae, having chlorophyll, can perform photosynthesis. This benefits the fungus--which is unable to do so--because the fungus then feeds off the algae. The fungus in turn absorbs nutrients from whatever it is growing on, which the algae is able to absorb. So its a win/win situation.
