Can fungi feed on both living and non living organisms?
it can only feed at dead living things such as dead animals and plants
Can fungi that decompose dead organisms cause serious damage to plants?
Yes, fungi that decompose dead organisms can cause serious damage to plants. Some fungi are opportunistic and can switch from decomposing dead organisms to parasitizing living plants, leading to diseases that can harm or even kill the plants. It is important to manage fungal populations in the soil to prevent potential damage to plants.
What do dead plant eat?
Dead plants can decompose and be broken down by fungi, bacteria, and other organisms. These organisms help break down the dead plant material into simpler nutrients that can then be reused by other living plants.
Why do fungi grow on other organisms?
Fungi grow on other organisms primarily as a means of obtaining nutrients. Many fungi are saprophytic, breaking down dead organic matter, while others are parasitic, deriving nutrients from living hosts, which can lead to disease in the host. Additionally, some fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants (mycorrhizae), enhancing nutrient absorption for both partners. This diverse range of interactions allows fungi to thrive in various environments.
Do fungi feed on live and dead animals?
Some fungi are saprophytic and feed on dead animals, breaking down their tissues for nutrients. However, there are also parasitic fungi that can infect live animals, drawing nutrients from their host's tissues.

Is fungi a consumer producer or a decomposer?

Where are imperfect fungi located?
Imperfect fungi are located every where, on land ,in water,in air, in and on bodies of living and dead organisms
