Fungi (singular: Fungus) are a kind of living organism which are not plants or animals. In the past, people thought they were plants. Some fungi are mushrooms, molds and yeasts. A fungus breaks down the dead matter around it and uses it as food. Some fungi have gills which make spores that will be used to make new fungi.
