Fungi are NOT plants
Nonphotosynthetic Eukaryotes Nonmotile Most are saprobes
(live on dead organisms)

Absorptive heterotrophs (digest food first & then absorb it into their bodies
Release digestive enzymes to break down organic material or their host
Store food energy as glycogen

Ecosystems depend on fungi as decomposers and symbionts: decompose food, wood and even plastics!
Some fungi are pathogens e.g. athlete’s foot, ringworm etc.: Plants particularly susceptible (e.g. Dutch elm disease) Ergot - affects cereal crops: causes gangrene,
hallucinations and “St. Anthony’s fire” Many animals, including humans, eat fungi:
In US, mushroom consumption restricted to Agaricus We eat a range of cultivated and wild mushrooms Truffles are underground ascocarps of mycelia that are
mycorrhizal on tree roots
