A Fungus (plural: Fungi) is a kind of living organism which is not a plant or an animal or a protist or a eubacteria or an archaebacteria. In the past, people thought fungi were plants. Some fungi are mushrooms, moulds and yeasts. A fungus breaks down the dead matter around it and uses it as food.

[change] Reproduction
Fungi reproduce sexually and asexually. Some fungi have gills which make spores that will be used to make new fungi.
[change] Fugal states
Two fungal states exist: the unicellular or "yeast" form and the mycelial form.
[change] Yeast form
The yeast form is single-celled and reproduction occurs by simple budding or binary fission.
[change] Mycelial form
The mycelial form is the vegetative growth of filaments.
