Answer 2

On the basis of mode of nutrition, fungi are classified into four groups:

Saprophytes
Parasites
Symbionts
Predacious fungi


⏺Saprophytes fungi-

Saprophytic fungi obtain nutrition from dead organic matter
These fungi lives on dead organic matter or excreta of both plant and animal origin.

⏺Parasitic fungi -
parasite take food from other living plants or animals
The living organism on which the fungi parasitize are called host
Parasitic fungi are harmful to the host and they produce disease condition in host organisms.

⏺Symbionts fungi,-

These fungi grow on or with other living organism but both of them are mutually benefited
Lichens and mycorrhiza are examples
Lichens are the symbiotic association between algae and fungi
Here both fungi and algae are mutually benefited.

⏺Predacious fungi-

They are animal capturing fungi (predators)
These types of fungi possess special hyphal traps called snares to tap and capture small animals such as nematodes and protozoa
They usually inhabit in the soil.
