It's simple answer! !!
Ans: Fungi usually grow best in environments that are slightly acidic. They can grow on substances with very low moisture. Fungi live in the soil and on your body, in your house and on plants and animals, in freshwater and seawater.
Hope it's help you! ! !

Fungi
Fungi are organisms that scientists once confused with plants. However, scientists have found that, at the cell level, the fungi are more like animals than they are like plants. For one thing, fungi cannot synthesize their own food like plants do, but instead they eat other organisms as do animals.
Fungi come in a variety of shapes and sizes and different types. They can range from single cells to enormous chains of cells that can stretch for miles. Fungi include single-celled living things that exist individually, such as yeast, and multicellular clusters, such as molds or mushrooms. Yeast cells look round or oval under a microscope. They're too small to see as individuals, but you can see large clusters of them as a white powdery coating on fruits and leaves.
Molds are described as filament-like because they form long filament-like, or thread-like, strands of cells called hyphae. These hyphae are what give mold colonies their fuzzy appearance. They also form the fleshy body, or mushroom, that some species grow. It may seem strange to think of something as big as a mushroom as a microbe. But the cells of the hyphae making up that mushroom are connected in a closer way than the cells of other multicellular living things, like you and me, are.
Fungi usually grow best in environments that are slightly acidic. They can grow on substances with very low moisture. Fungi live in the soil and on your body, in your house and on plants and animals, in freshwater and seawater. A single teaspoon of topsoil contains about 120,000 fungi.
Fungi are basically stationary. But they can spread either by forming reproductive spores that are carried on wind and rain or by growing and extending their hyphae. Hyphae grow as new cells form at the tips, creating even longer chains of cells.
Fungi absorb nutrients from living or dead organic matter that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such as sugars, through their cell walls. They give off special digestive enzymes to break down complex nutrients into simpler forms that they can absorb.
Some fungi are quite useful to us. We've used several kinds to make antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. These antibiotics are based on natural compounds the fungi produce to compete against bacteria for nutrients and space. We use baker's yeast, to make bread rise and to brew beer. Fungi break down dead plants and animals and keep the world tidier. We're exploring ways to use natural fungal enemies of insect pests to get rid of these bugs.
There are some dangerous fungi that cause diseases in plants, animals and people. Fungi ruin about a quarter to half of harvested fruits and vegetables each year.
