Ever see mushrooms just growing wild in the ground like this one? Did you know that they are part of the Animal Kingdom Fungi. Organisms in this kingdom have many different roles depending on the fungi. Some break down dead organic material for example; others can be used for food, like mushrooms on a pizza. Fungi can be good and bad for human health. They are used for drugs like antibiotic in medicines, and they can cause diseases like ringworm and athletes’ foot. (Waggoner, 2006)
