NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi live everywhere. They grow best in warm, moist places. They are not green and do not possess chlorophyll. Fungi can grown on vegetables, bread, meat, fur, wood, leather, or anything that can be warm and moist.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi thrive in warm and moist conditions, making areas of the body that get sweaty in summer perfect habitats. Activities that are common in summer, like using public showers at pools and beaches, can also help fungi spread.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi are usually saprophytic in nature; thus, they obtain nutrients from dead organic matter provided there is sufficient moisture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature: Fungi grow best in warm temperatures. Some species of fungi do grow better at warm temperatures (70-90°F), but there are some that thrive in very high temperatures of 130-150°F and some that will thrive in very low temperatures below 32°F (below freezing).

Detailed explanation-5: -Soil rich in organic matter is an ideal habitat for many species, and only a small number of fungi are found in drier areas or in habitats with little or no organic matter. Some fungi are parasites on plants or animals and live on or within their hosts for at least part of their life cycle.
