Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi have the ability to transform nutrients in a way that makes them available for plants. Some fungi are decomposers which mean that they break down plant and animal debris, thus cycling nutrient and increasing their availability in the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Together with bacteria, fungi are responsible for breaking down organic matter and releasing carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus into the soil and the atmosphere. Fungi are essential to many household and industrial processes, notably the making of bread, wine, beer, and certain cheeses.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Fungi can also function as nutrient cyclers, pathogens, and mutualists that live in a beneficial association with plants and other organisms.” We typically think of fungi as decomposers, but they are cryptic and do many different things. Fungi can also be human pathogens.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi are ubiquitous eukaryotic microorganisms found in the environment in association with soil, animals, faeces, water, plant debris or other surfaces.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fungi are used in the production of antibiotics, medicines such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. Mushroom that is highly proteinaceous belongs to fungi that are consumed in the form of food. In the bakery yeast is used in all the products and also in the food and beverages industries.
