A fungus is different from a plant because a fungus doesn't have the ability to make its own food by photosynthesis. It also has walls made of chitin (also found in insects), not cellulose as in plants. Fungi also reproduce by making spores that can be carried away by wind, water, or insects. There are many types of fungi, ranging from single celled yeasts, to large mushrooms. Some fungi can cause disease in people, but most are beneficial because they are decomposers, returning the nutrients locked up in dead plants back to the soil. Also, yeasts are used to make bread, beer, and wine.
