Description

Fungi are the second largest biological group after insects. Not only is there a large number of fungi types, their distribution is very widespread on the planet, and can be found in the air, on land, below the ground, in water, and on or inside other living creatures. Fungi exist almost anywhere there is life. Fungi obtain nutrition through saprophytic, parasitic and mutualistic relationships. Because they obtain and assimilate organic substances through other living beings, all sorts of beings in the ecosystem often have intimate relationships with fungi. Therefore, fungi are an essential part of ecology studies.
