Answer:

What are fungi?

Fungi are micro-organisms generally classified as plants, although there is growing support for the separation of the fungi and other micro-organisms into an entirely new kingdom. For this reason Fungi are perhaps best described as plant like micro-organisms that do not possess chlorophyll.

Fungi may be simple in structure, as are the yeasts which consist of a single cell or chains of cells that reproduce by "budding" and which generally give rise to rather slimy, pink, pale brown or cream coloured colonies. Typical moulds on the other hand, are more complex, multicellular fungi, of variable appearance and colour. Most reproduce by means of microscopic asexual spores which vary considerably in size and shape and are formed either on stalks or in special vesicles which grow from, or are embedded in, the vegetative part of the fungus (mycelium). This consists of many strands (hyphae) which typically grow together to form a 'mycelial mat'. It is this mycelium that is largely responsible for the formation of exzymes, fungal toxins, etc.
