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.
Yes, hot water can effectively kill fungus by disrupting its cell membranes and proteins, leading to its destruction.
In my research throught out the web and text books, there are a few fungus like protists that are unicellular. Thank you!
Yes, you can effectively remove fungus growing on a door frame by cleaning the affected area with a mixture of water and vinegar, using a commercial fungicide, or hiring a professional to treat the fungus. It is important to address the root cause of the fungus growth, such as moisture or poor ventilation, to prevent it from returning.
A fungus plant root association, also known as mycorrhiza, is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and plant roots. The fungus helps the plant absorb nutrients like phosphorus and water from the soil, while the plant provides sugars to the fungus. This relationship benefits both organisms and is common in many plant species.
The bodies of most fungi are constructed of threadlike filaments called Hyphae. A mass of hyphae is called a mycelium, the feeding structure of the fungus.
Air and water help fungus grow.
If fungus grows on a live tree, it can weaken the tree's structure, interfere with its ability to transport water and nutrients, and make it more susceptible to diseases and pests. In severe cases, the fungus can cause the tree to die. It's important to manage the fungus to protect the health of the tree.

yes
some organisms live together and share shelter and nutrients, this is called symbiotic relationship. in organisms like lichens a chlorophyll- containing partner which is an alga, and a fungus live together. the fungus provides shelter, water and minerals to the alga while in return the alga provides food which it prepares by the process of photosynthesis.

Water fungus is a type of fungus that thrives in freshwater environments. It can be found in ponds, lakes, and streams, and often appears as slimy or cottony masses on surfaces such as rocks or plants. Water fungus plays a role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients in aquatic ecosystems.
