Fungi are a group of eukaryotic organisms that lives on plants, animals, dead and decaying matters. They do not contain chlorophyll and obtain nutrition from the substrate they live on. They are various types of fungi like yeast, slime molds, mushrooms, and so on.
Fungi are broadly classified into 4 divisions: Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. Different forms of fungi are cultured in different parts of the world as they are economically important.
