KINGDOM FUNGI
 includes a vast variety of organisms such as
mushrooms, yeast, and mold, made up of
feathery filaments called hyphae
(collectively called mycelium).
 Fungi are multicellular and eukaryotic.
 They are also heterotrophs, and gain
nutrition through absorption.
FUNGI
 is the plural word for "fungus".
 A fungus is a eukaryotic organism.
 Yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are
examples of fungi.
SAPROPHYTE
 or saprotroph is an organism which gets
its energy from dead and decaying organic
matter.
 This may be decaying pieces of plants or
animals.
HYPHAE
 is a long, branching filamentous structure of
a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium.
 In most fungi, hyphae are the main mode of
vegetative growth, and are collectively
called a mycelium.
RHIZOIDS
 are protuberances that extend from the lower
epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae.
 They are similar in structure and function to
the root hairs of vascular land plants.
 Similar structures are formed by some fungi.
 Rhizoids may be unicellular or multicellular.
USEFUL FUNGI
VOLVARIELLA
 is a genus of mushrooms with deep salmon
pink gills and spore prints.
ZYGOSACCHAROMYCES ROUXII
 is an interesting species of yeast that is
infamous within the food industry.
 Its capacity to thrive in both highly
saline and sugar-dense environments is
what makes Z. rouxii a predominant
food spoiling agent
LENTINUS SAJOR-CAJU
 is a species of saprophytic mushroom.
 Cultivator-mycologists often incorrectly use
the name Pleurotus sajor-caju for some warm
weather varieties of Pleurotus pulmonarius, a
commonly cultivated species of Oyster
Mushroom.
 AFLATOXINS
 are a family of toxins produced by certain
fungi that are found on agricultural crops
such as maize (corn), peanuts, cottonseed,
and tree nuts.

TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM
 is a fungus that is also used as a fungicide.
 It is used for foliar application, seed
treatment and soil treatment for suppression
of various disease causing fungal pathogens.
TRICHOPHYTON MENTAGROPHYTES
 is isolated most frequently.
 mentagrophytes is typically found in
moist, carbon-rich environments.
 It is characterized by flat suede-like
colonies with a white to cream color and
distinctive odor.
 The color on the underside of the colonies
is usually a yellow to reddish brown color.
ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE
 known in English as koji, is
a filamentous fungus (a mold) used in
Chinese and other East Asian cuisines
to ferment soybeans for making soy
sauce and fermented bean paste
(including miso), and also to saccharify rice,
other grains, and potatoes in the making
of alcoholic beverages such
as huangjiu, sake, makgeolli, and shōchū.
PENICILLIUM CHRYSOGENUM OR P.
HARMFUL FUNGI NOTATUM
 is a species of fungus in the genus
Penicillium.
 It is common in temperate and subtropical
regions and can be found on salted food
products, but it is mostly found in indoor
environments, especially in damp or water-
damaged buildings.

ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS
 is a saprotrophic and pathogenic fungus
with a cosmopolitan distribution.
 It is best known for its colonization of
cereal grains, legumes, and tree nuts.
 Postharvest rot typically develops during
harvest, storage, and/or transit.
TRICHOPHYTON RUBRUM
 is a dermatophytic fungus in the phylum
Ascomycota, class Euascomycetes.
 It is an exclusively clonal, anthropophilic
saprotroph that colonizes the upper layers
of dead skin, and is the most common cause
of athlete's foot, fungal infection of nail,
jock itch, and ringworm worldwide.
