Nail polish will last up to 12 months, depending on the quality and how many times you take it on a plane (the cap always unscrews on me during flights, leaving my purse a -- fume-y -- mess!). See 5 really tacky nail trends.
All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms. Like animals, fungi extract the energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds such as sugar and protein from living or dead organisms.
1 Lichens are fungi that live in a symbiotic association with an autotrophic green alga or cyanobacterium (the photobiont) or â in some cases â both. 2  The fungal partner (the mycobiont) in most lichens (98% of them) is an ascomycete. Some live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with another organism, often a plant. 2  The association of fungus and plant root is called a mycorrhiza. 3  Some 80% of land plants benefit from symbiotic mycorrhiza. 4  The plant benefits by more-efficient mineral (especially phosphorus) uptake.
