Kingdom Fungi

Fungi display diverse nutritional strategies, including saprotrophy and mutualism, and exhibit a haploid dominant life cycle. Key yeast genera like Saccharomyces and molds such as Rhizopus and Penicillium highlight the ecological and clinical significance of this kingdom. Microsporidia, including species causing gastrointestinal and ocular infections, illustrate the impact of fungi on human health. Additionally, mycorrhizal associations and fungi like Claviceps and Morchella showcase the complex relationships in ecosystems. Explore their multifaceted roles in nature and medicine.
