The fungus
-
Parasites
They live at the expense of living animals and plants, and can cause
diseases, such as athlete’s foot, in humans.
-
Symbiotic fungi
They form a close, mutually beneficial association with other living things.
For example, lichens are fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with algae.
Descomposers
They live on the remains of dead plants and animals and transform them into inorganic material useful for plants.
