Fungi Can Be Beneficial
The Fungi Kingdom is a unique and diverse group of organisms. Fungi not only provide a tasty addition to your stir-fry, they also have many ecological benefits as well. In another lesson, we learned about lichens and mycorrhizae, which are both symbiotic relationships involving fungi.
Lichens are symbioses with photosynthetic organisms, specifically algae and cyanobacteria. Mycorrhizaeare symbioses with plant roots. Both types of symbiotic relationships provide nutritional and habitat benefits for the fungi and other organisms involved.
Fungi are also essential recyclers in the environment. As decomposers, they break down organic material and restock the environment with usable nutrients. If we didn't have fungi breaking things down, we'd just have a large pile of dead stuff all over the place, and that certainly wouldn't be good! Not only do we not want to see dead stuff piling up, but the nutrients in those dead things need to get returned to the earth so that they can be used by new, growing plants and animals.
Your stir-fry is just one way that fungi are used in food. Ever had blue cheese? What makes it blue (and so tasty) is the fungi used to ripen the cheese. Truffles are highly prized fungi that people eat, and yeasts are fungi that make beer and bread.
Fungi are also beneficial in the medical and pharmaceutical industry. Some fungi produce antibiotics, like penicillin, that are used to treat bacterial diseases. Some yeasts are also used in biomedical research to produce human proteins.
