Why do fungi need moist places to grow?

Fungi need moist environments to grow because they absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their cell walls. Water helps dissolve and deliver these nutrients to the fungi for uptake. Additionally, moisture is essential for fungal spores to germinate and develop into mature fungi.


Can fungi live in dry areas?

Why do fungi like the dark?

Yes. Worms live in the ground, in the soil. They can only be in the sunlight for about 5 mins or less. Worms can die if they're in DIRECT sunlight. So if you do a science project about worms and your asking if they can be in sunlight or something (Like using pieces of paper [Dark color and bright color] for the project). The worm would go to the dark color (Dark purple, black, dark green, etc). I hope this answer is what you was looking forf :)

Lichen is the product of a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, usually a photosynthetic bacteria or algae. The photosynthetic organism gains a place to live and protection. Most of the organisms that live as part of a lichen need a moist environment and cannot usually live in the areas that lichen can grow; The fungi allows the photosynthetic organism to remain moist.
