The Fungi Kingdom
Fungi are not plants because they don't make their own food; instead, they absorb nutrients from their surroundings.
Examples: Mushrooms, toadstools, yeast, mould.
💡 Fun Facts
- The largest living organism on Earth is a fungus in Oregon, a type of honey mushroom that covers nearly 4 square miles underground.
- It is estimated there could be as many as 3.8 million species of fungi, though only about 148,000 have been described so far.
- Some species of mushroom can glow in the dark through a process called bioluminescence, which may attract insects to help spread their spores.
