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.

Lichens are composed of either photosynethtic cyanobacteria or green algae (the plant part) and a fungus.The fungi[provide the plant part with water and minerals; the plant part produces the food.

Fungi can also so associate with the roots of plants. These fungi are called mycorrhizae.

There are also fungi that live within plants; these are called endophytes.
