Useful Fungi
Yeasts, used in the making of foods and drinks such as
bread and beer, are fungi. Several important medicines come from
fungi; the antibiotic penicillin is produced by a sac
fungus Penicillium notatum which is a common
bluish-green mould. A number of industrial processes
depend on certain species of fungus. Some water
fungi are important in the natural decomposition of
sewage.
