Fungus (pl. fungi) is a living microorganism characterized by a cell wall containing chitin and lacking chlorophyll. About 50 species cause diseases in animals and more than 10,000 species cause plant diseases. Most of the more than 100,000 species of fungi are beneficial and feed on dead plant and animal matter which they help to decompose.
