4. Notes on Fungi
There are at least 1.5 million species of fungi including puffballs, moulds, yeasts, rusts, mildews and your everyday mushroom!
2. Some fungi are single-celled organisms, like yeast, but most are multi-cellular like mushrooms.
3. Multi-cellular fungi have a body structure which allows maximum absorption of nutrients from the food source.
4. Underneath the fruit body of the fungus exists a large network of tiny filaments called hyphae. They form a large interwoven mass called a mycelium that absorbs nutrients.

5. 5. They act as decomposers (of dead trees, leaves, etc
5. They act as decomposers (of dead trees, leaves, etc.) returning carbon and nitrogen of the soil to grow new plants. Some are used to make medicines like antibiotics like penicillin.
6. Other uses of fungus are: producing citric acid for fizzy drinks, flavoring cheeses like Stilton and Danish Blue, the yeast for brewing alcohol and making bread.
7. Other fungal species are parasites causing diseases in plants and animals such as ringworm and athletes’ foot. They can cause damage to harvests like grain and fruit harvests.
