fungi are classified under eukaryotic (you-carry-ah-tick) organisms, closer relation to animals, but now placed in their own kingdom. what we see is only the “fruit” of the organism, the living body of the fungus is a mycelium made out of a web of tiny filaments called hyphae (high-fee) usually hidden in the soil or another food source. if the mycelium produces microscopic fruiting bodies, people may never notice the fungus.
