them. Cats and frogs might be animals(Kingdom), but they are not from the same
class. The cat is a mammal, and the frog is a reptile.

Mushrooms are a common form of fungus. They grow all over the world in woods or
grassy areas where there is plenty of moisture. Some kinds of mushroom are familiar
foods, but others are poisonous. Sometimes the poisonous types are called
toadstools. They can make you sick or even kill you.
Most of a mushroom grows underground in tiny threadlike strands. The strands form
a tangled mass called a mycelium. The familiar mushroom form(Fruitbody) is a part
of the fungus that grows above the surface.

Mold is a common form of fungus. They grow all over the world in woods or grassy
areas where there is plenty of moisture. Mold is normally found on food and walls in
your rooms. Just like mushrooms mold has mycelium, but they normally don’t have a
visible fruitbody. They spread by growing spores that travel through the air.
Some molds are very dangerous and if you breathe them in, you can get very sick.
Mold was also used to make antibiotics, which we use everyday to save peoples lives
from infections and bacteria.
