One of the main characteristics of a fungus that helps set it apart from the other kingdoms is that they all contain within them a substance called ‘chitin’ which allows fungi such as mushrooms to develop their shape and maintain structure. In nature, Fungi serve an incredibly important role...

Fungi have a wide range of symbioses with other kinds of organisms. What is a mutualistic symbiosis? Provide an example of mutualism between a fungus and a photosynthetic partner. Provide an example of mutualism between a fungus and plants. For each examp ...
It is grown from a corm and likes a nice hummus rich soil, does great in containers, and can even withstand a bit of a temperature drop, as long as its buried snugly in a said hummus-y soil. I expect this would do well in most climates if kept in a container and properly mulched/...
How does a fungus cause disease? Fungi can cause disease through:Replication of the fungus(fungal cells can invade tissues and disrupt their function) Immune response (by immune cells or antibodies) Competitive metabolism (consuming energy and nutrients intended for the host) ...
