Fungi redirects here. For other uses, see Fungi (disambiguation). A fungus (/ËfÊÅÉ¡És/; plural: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals.
Mold is a common type of fungus that thrives under the right conditions, both indoor and out. It is heterotrophic, meaning it gains its nutrition through absorption. Mold is composed of small strands called hyphae, which are threadlike filaments that group together to make mycelium. Mold can be a nuisance, but also has benefits in science and nature.
