Mushrooms are members of the kingdom Fungi. This kingdom includes a diverse group of organisms that are distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi can be unicellular (like yeasts) or multicellular (like molds and mushrooms). They play crucial roles in ecosystems as decomposers and can also form symbiotic relationships with plants (mycorrhizae) or cause diseases in some organisms. Mushrooms specifically refer to the fruiting bodies of certain fungi, particularly those in the phylum Basidiomycota and Ascomycota.
