About

    Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that include mushrooms, yeasts, and molds. They play important roles in the ecosystem as decomposers, plant symbionts, and pathogens. Fungi have complex life cycles that involve both sexual and asexual reproduction, and they are a valuable source of food, medicine, and industrial products. Research in the field of fungi encompasses topics such as fungal genetics, ecology, evolution, and biotechnology. Scientists study fungi to better understand their importance in the environment and to develop new ways to harness their potential benefits.
