fungi
\fun"gi\ (?), n. pl. (bot.) a group of thallophytic plants of low organization, destitute of chlorophyll, in which reproduction is mainly accomplished by means of asexual spores, which are produced in a great variety of ways, though sexual reproduction is known to occur in certain phycomycetes, or so-called algal fungi.
note: the fungi appear to have originated by degeneration from various alg?, losing their chlorophyll on assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. by some they are divided into the subclasses phycomycetes, the lower or algal fungi; the mesomycetes, or intermediate fungi; and the mycomycetes, or the higher fungi; by others into the phycomycetes; the ascomycetes, or sac-spore fungi; and the basidiomycetes, or basidial-spore fungi.

Fungus
Molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms, and puffballs, a group of organisms lacking in chlorophyll (i.e. are not photosynthetic) and which are usually non-mobile, filamentous, and multicellular. Some grow in soil, others attach themselves to decaying trees and other plants whence they obtain nutrients. Some are pathogens, others stabilize sewage and digest composted waste.

fungi (FUN-ji)
Mushrooms, molds, mildews, rusts, and smuts that are small non-chlorophyll-bearing plants lacking roots, stems and leaves. They occur in natural waters and grow best in the absence of light. Their decomposition may cause objectionable tastes and odors in water.

Fungi
Simple plants that lack chlorophyll and are composed of cellular filamentous growth known as hyphae. Many fungi, but their fruiting bodies, viz. mushrooms and puffballs are quite large. in composting: saprophytic or parasitic multinucleate organisms with branching filaments called hyphae, forming a mass called a mycelium; fungi bring about cellulolysis and humification of the substrate during stabilization.
