CHAPTER 41 The Nature of Fungi
... The Nature of Fungi Fungi are a distinct class of microorganisms, most of which are free-living in nature where they function as decomposers in the energy cycle. Of the more than 200,000 known species, fewer than 200 have been reported to produce disease in humans. These diseases, the mycoses, have ...
