4.2 The kingdom funghi


Introduction to the kingdom of fungi.
There are about 40,000 different kinds of fungi.
These include:
*mushrooms
*moulds
*yeasts
Fungi are not green because they do not contain chlorophyll.
Because they are not green, fungi do not make their own food.
Most fungi feed on the remains of dead plants and animals.
Fungi are decomposers - they change dead things into a substance called humus.
Humus is rich in nutrients.
Soil rich in humus enables new strong plants to grow and provides a home for thousands of living things.
