A good majority of jelly fungi are edible, though not very tasty. That would give it a similar ecological importance as other edible plants, for instance blackberries. This fact makes it an important part of the food chain for many animals. It also adds nutrients into the soil when its life is over.\n\nHymenomycetes display the full range of ecological strategies that characterizes the Basidiomycota as a whole. To obtain carbon nutrition, Hymenomycetes decompose dead organic matter or enter into diverse associations (both antagonistic and benign) with plants, animals, and other fungi.

I found a great site but they are for "magic" mushrooms... all the other sites are for selling mushrooms.  You may want to visit your library and check out a book on Mushroom farming... good luck!

Dear Nishu,\n            Micro-organisms are responsible for some harmful as well useful effects. \nYeast is a kind of fungus which is used in fermentation process to produce alcohol and bear. It is also used in baking industry. Bacteria are used to convert milk into curd from which butter is obtained to form Ghee. There is a bacterium in our gut which produces vitamin D by sunlight. Penicillium is a fungus which is used to obtain antibiotic Penicillin. The first antibiotic was obtained from fungus in 1928 by Alexander Flemming. Fungi in the form of mushrooms are edible. Bacteria produce cellulase enzyme in the alimentary canal of herbivore animals for digestion of cellulose. Bacteria are utilized for the formation of some essential vitamins. Bacteria produce insulin which is used in treatment of diabetes. Algae are photosynthesizers that produce oxygen in our environment.\n\nAhhh... Hope this helps...!

Moneran - Includes bacteria, blue green algae, and primative pathogens.  Considered the most primative kingdom, it represents prokaryotic life forms - they have no distinct nuclei\n\nProtista - simples eukaryotes.  Include protozoa, unicellular and multicellular algae, and slime mold.  Ancestor organisms to plants, animals, fungi; most can move around by means to flagella\n\nFungi - includes mushroom, bread molds, and yeasts.  Fungi lack the ability to photosynthesize, so they are called decomposers, breaking down and feeding on dead protoplasm.\n\nPlantae - have the ability to photosynthesize, so they are called producers.  They are two major phyla, Bryophyta, or mosses and Tracheophyta - which have vascular systems and include most of the plants you know.\n\nAnimalia - produce energy by consumering other organisms, so they are called consumers.  Can be either vertebrates, phylum Chordata, or invertebrates such as mollusks, arthopods, sponges, coelenterates, worms, etc.

Although often inconspicuous, fungi occur in every environment on Earth and play very important roles in most ecosystems. Along with bacteria, fungi are the major decomposers in most terrestrial (and some aquatic) ecosystems, and therefore play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles and in many food webs.\n\nMany fungi are important as partners in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, as mutualists, parasites, or commensalists, as well as in symbiotic relationships that do not fall neatly into any of these categories. One of the most critically important of these relationships are various types of mycorrhiza, which is a kind of mutualistic relationship between fungi and plants, in which the plant's roots are closely associated with fungal hyphae and other structures. The plant donates to the fungus sugars and other carbohydrates that it manufactures from photosynthesis, while the fungus donates water and mineral nutrients that the hyphal network is able to find much more efficiently than the plant roots alone can, particularly phosphorus. The fungi also protect against diseases and pathogens and provide other benefits to the plant. Recently, plants have been found to use mycorrhizas to deliver carbohydrates and other nutrients to other plants in the same community and in some cases can make plant species that would normally exclude each other able to coexist in the same plant community. Such mycorrhizal communities are called "common mycorrhizal networks". Over 90% of the plant species on Earth are dependent on mycorrhizae of one type or another in order to survive, and it is hypothesized that the presence of terrestrial fungi may have been necessary in order for the first plants to colonize land.\n\n\n\nIn soil, microorganisms which reside in the rhizosphere (a zone that includes the root surface and the soil that adheres to the root after gentle shaking) help in the transformation of molecular dinitrogen gas as their source of nitrogen, converting it to nitrogenous compounds in a process known as nitrogen fixation. This serves to provide an easily absorbable form of nitrogen for many plants, which cannot fix nitrogen themselves. Many other bacteria are found as symbionts in humans and other organisms. For example, the presence of the gut flora in the large intestine can help prevent the growth of potentially harmful microbes.\n\nThe ability of bacteria to degrade a variety of organic compounds is remarkable. Highly specialized groups of microorganisms play important roles in the mineralization of specific classes of organic compounds. For example, the decomposition of cellulose, which is one of the most abundant constituents of plant tissues, is mainly brought about by aerobic bacteria that belong to the genus Cytophaga. This ability has also been utilized by humans in industry, waste processing, and bioremediation. Bacteria capable of digesting the hydrocarbons in petroleum are often used to clean up oil spills. Some beaches in Prince William Sound were fertilized in an attempt to facilitate the growth of such bacteria after the infamous 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. These efforts were effective on beaches that were not too thickly covered in oil.\n\nBacteria, often in combination with yeasts and molds, are used in the preparation of fermented foods such as cheese, pickles, soy sauce, sauerkraut, vinegar, wine, and yogurt. Using biotechnology techniques, bacteria can be bioengineered for the production of therapeutic drugs, such as insulin, or for the bioremediation of toxic wastes.\n\n"Friendly bacteria" is a term used to refer to those bacteria that offer some benefit to human hosts, such as Lactobacillus species, which convert milk protein to lactic acid in the gut. The presence of such bacterial colonies also inhibits the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria (usually through competitive exclusion). Other bacteria that are helpful inside the body are many strains of E. coli, which ar

Okay, this is a kid's site, but it was (not joking) the most informative I could find. \nhttp://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/skin/fungus.html\n\nThis site is very informative as well:\nhttp://www.lymphedemapeople.com/thesite/lymphedema_skin_fungus.htm\n\nFrom my Mycology (study of fungi) notes:\nTiniea capitis affects the scalp\nTinea barbae affect the beard\nTinea corporis affects the entire body\nTinea cruris is the cause of jock itch\nTinea pedis would be athletes foot\nTinea unguium affect the hair\n\nThese are all dermatophytes and there are three genera: microsporum, epidermaphyton, and trichophyton.\n\nOther superficial fungal infections are Mallassizia furfur that causes white patches on the skin, P. wernecki (commonly known as Tinea nigra) that cause ring worm, and Piedra hortae and Trichosporon biegelii that affect the hair.\n\nI hope I didn't overwhelm you with information and that it is helpful. I can get you more information if you need it. There are several more types of fungi. These only affect the first layer of skin and hair. Others are more invasive. Hope that helps.

The largets living thing is a fungus with the scientific name Armillaria ostoyae <are-mill-are-ee-uh ah-stoy-ee>. Known more commonly as the honey mushroom, this giant fungus was found in the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon. It stretches 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) across and covers an area larger than 1,600 football fields. Most of it is hidden underground.

Taxonomic name: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis gen. et sp. nov.\nSynonyms: \nCommon names: chytrid frog fungi, Chytrid-Pilz (German), chytridiomycosis, chytridiomycosis (English), frog chytrid fungus (English)\nLife form: fungus\n\nBatrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a non-hyphal parasitic chytrid fungus that has been associated with population declines in endemic amphibian species in upland montane rain forests in Australia and Panama. It is causes cutaneous mycosis (fungal infection of the skin), or more specifically chytridiomycosis, in wild and captive amphibians. First described in 1998, the fungus is the only chytrid known to parasitise vertebrates. B. dendrobatidis can remain viable in the environment (especially aquatic environments) for weeks on its own, and may persist in latent infections.
