I can think of a few:\n\nFungi are actually more closely related to animals. They get their food from living matter.\nHowever, they are different from animals because:\n\nThey absorb their food instead of ingesting it.\n\nThey have cell walls.\n\nThey are stationary, like plants.\n\nThey are different from plants because:\n\nThey are heterotrophs.\n\nThey lack roots.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic relationships between fungi and plant roots (the term means literally 'fungus root'). Perhaps more than 80% of the species of higher plants have these relationships, and so do many pteridophytes (ferns and their allies) and some mosses (especially liverworts). They are as common on crop plants (cereals, peas, tomatoes, onions, apples, strawberry, etc) as in wild plant communities, and in several cases they have been shown to be important or even essential for plant performance. As the American plant pathologist, Stephen Wilhelm, said: '...in agricultural field conditions, plants do not, strictly speaking, have roots, they have mycorrhizas'.\n\nTo a large degree, mycorrhizas seem to be symbiotic (mutualistic) relationships, in which the fungus obtains at least some of its sugars from the plant, while the plant benefits from the efficient uptake of mineral nutrients (or water) by the fungal hyphae. However, there can be circumstances in which the fungus is mildly detrimental, and others in which the plant feeds from the fungus.\n\nThe most productive soil is humus.i guess

yeast are a type of fungus, you can read about it, hear\n\nhttp://www.yeastgenome.org/VL-what_are_yeast.html

In general, molds (more properly fungi) and bacteria are decomposing organisms - they cause things to rot, to decay, to decompose. If we didn't have them around, we'd all be knee deep in dead things. \n\nTheir life-style may be similar but their biology is very different - they belong to two separate kingdoms of life. Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes that reproduce by fission, fungi are multi-cellular eukaryotes that reproduce with spores.

Hard to tell. If you mean by mushrooms,  fungal species which have large fruiting bodies not requiring a microscope to be seen, then about 950 described species which you may encounter. Plus very rare ones, plus ones not yet described in Britain plus ones still to be discovered. So about one thousand would be a reasonable answer. If you extend your search to microscopic fungi - who knows - could be many thousands of species because not a lot of research has been done in this area.

bacteria, viruses, cyanobacteria or fungi?  or do you mean specific examples

(m)\n\nMycology is the study of fungi. At various points throughout history, fungi have been considered to be either plants or animals. It was finally concluded that fungi are neither plants nor animals, but are a distinct group. Fungi are now considered one of the five kingdoms into which all living organisms are classified.

eukarotic bacteria are unicellular; fungi can be multicellular whereas bacteria can not. Bacteria move themselves by means of a flagella unlike fungi which don't. Bacteria lack a nucleous and mitochondria unlike fungi. Many bacteria have differing cell walls from fungi. I believe the term used is peptidoglcoans, which describes the cell wall.

fungi digest their food by secreting a digestive enzyme to break down the food then they sort of engulf the food\n\ntrue...some fungi are parasites...some can cause ringworm, athlete's foot\n\nthe deuteromycota fungi are not multicellular\n\nhyphae is a the threadlike filaments that form the mycelium of the fungi\n\ni don't know how thick they are...but they are very very thin\n\ni took this test long time ago in high school...i still remember it because i have to know my biology.

Fungi are chemoautotrophs, so they don't hunt for anything. \nBut I'd hunt for them, oyster mushrooms are delicious!

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.

Penicillium notatum - mold\nAspergillus fumigatus - fungus\nAlternaria tenuis - fungus\nHormodendrum horde - not sure\nLamb's quarter - common weedy European plant introduced into North America\nCocklebur - a weed (http://www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/cocklebur.html) \n\nLooks like you're allergic to molds, fungi, and weeds.

Botany is great! I am a botanist and I studied at NC State University, they have a great botany department. Well, botany includes a huge amount of stuff. Once you get into your botany  classes you will decide what you want to specialize or generalize your studies in. Some botanists are ecologists and study plants in relation to other plants, endangered or rare plants, or how plants are related to each other. Some botanists are taxonomists, that means they identify and group plants. You can work on the molecular level too.. there are botanists that do not know anything about plants but alot about plant DNA or plant cell workings. I got into botany because I did not like blood either, ha ha and I liked plants. I then found mycology and is studied as a part of botany. Mycology is the study of fungi. You can really do ALOT of things with botany from working in a lab or outside all day, for the government, or teaching.

ok this is going to be hard as fungi can vary alot between diffrent spicies. \nI mean genrally you have hypthe. These are normally long storks which are inter conected with each other. On top of these are the spores called conida. There are 2 varities of conida mirocanida and macrocondia. Macrocondia is the bigger of the 2. Fugui can ether have one or both if these 2 types. Genrally the microcondia are small circular spores. As I havent seen the picture I cant really tell you any more, if you can find a link to the picture that would help alot and i should be abel to tell you more.

Cactus =  cacti\nFungus = fungi

most plants are producers\nmost animals are consumers\nmany insects are decomposers\nmany fungi and molds are decomposers too\n\n\njust think of common plants and animals and you'll do fine for those catagories

Fungi is the plural of Fungus.
