As compared to the animals fungi digest food externally, absorbing nutrients directly from the environment and animal injest and digest food. Fungi are also surprisingly resilient certain species can survive at sub zero tempratempe by generating their own heat (-10° or below) as well as relatively high temperature of up to 150° F. Mushroom and other funhf release an incredible amount of spores into the atmosphere every year and contributing up to 50 million tonnes of particulates.

Lichens are actually two organisms, fungi and a photosynthetic microorganism, living together.

LICHENS Lichens are actually two organisms, fungi and a photosynthetic microorganism, living together. Typically, lichens are comprised of cyanobacteria or green algae in a mutualistic relationship with an ascomycete fungus. The algae contribute food from photosynthesis and the fungus contributes anchorage and water retention. The lichen body, called a thallus, can be found on bare rock, soil, hanging from trees, and many harsh living environments. Lichens are generally the first organisms to colonize cleared rock and soil surfaces after volcanic activity...
