There are about 40 000 different kinds of fungi. These include: *mushrooms *toadstools *moulds *mildews *rusts
Fungi are not green because they do not contain chlorophyll. Because they are not green, fungi do not make their own food. |

Most fungi feed on the remains of dead plants and animals. Fungi are decomposers - they change dead things into a substance called humus. Humus is rich in nutrients. Soil rich in humus enables new strong plants to grow and provides a home for thousands of living things. |
