About Fungus
- Fungi can reproduce sexually and asexually.
- Fungi reproduce by spreading spores.
- The cell wall of fungal cells is made of chitin, rather than cellulose.
Some fungi you should be aware of:
- Yeast - Used in the production of bread and alcohol. However, some species cause infection in humans.
- Mushroom - The fruiting bodies of a larger fungus, most of which are poisonous, but some can be eaten.
