Concept introduction:
Fungi are the eukaryotic microorganisms placed under kingdom fungi. These microorganisms include unicellular to multicellular organisms like yeast, slimemolds, mushrooms etc. Fungi live in association with protist and algae. These are heterotrophs with the absorptive mode of nutrition. Fungi are beneficial microorganisms to the environment by recycling the nutrients. They reproduce by both asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. Fungi possess cell wall and they are genetically more related to animals than plants.
