Hey! Let's look into the characteristics of fungi as promised in the previous entry. To make it simpler, we will state the characteristics in ponit form for clearer understanding...

CHARACTERISTICS OF FUNGI:

1) All are eukaryotic-This means that fungi has nucleus

2) They are heterotrophic-They do not make their own food. Instead, they utilise pre-existing organic sources of carbon in their environment and the energy from chemical reactions to sythesise the organic compounds they require for growth and energy.

3) All are achlorophyllus- They lack chlorophyll pigments and are incapable of photosynthesis.

4) Many reproduce sexully or asexually

5) Some are unicellular- Some are made of one cell only.

So as you can see, Fungi are a special type of species. Unlike plants, they cannot make their own food. They depend on the body of other living things for energy. Stay tuned for the next entry where you will be more exposed mycology! Have a great day! :D
