    Fungi come in many forms including yeast, mucor, and penicillium. They function as decomposers, parasites, recyclers, and symbionts by forming relationships with other organisms to exchange carbon dioxide, water, and minerals or break down dead organic matter. Fungi have many uses such as being an important food source as seen with yeast for baking bread and producing vitamins, and penicillin production from penicillium fungi. However, some fungi can cause diseases like ringworm or poisonings from toxic mushrooms that resemble edible varieties.
