Fungus is a simple, plantlike organism that does not have roots or stems, or leaves. It is dependent on green plants or other living sources for its nutrients. Fungus has no chlorophyll and as a result cannot make sugar like other plants for food. Fungi can be found living on decayed plant material. Bacteria, also a fungus of sorts, are found everywhere. They can be found in the soil and in our own bodies. The mushroom is a member of the fungi family. Fungi reproduce themselves by spores.
