We're Growing Fungus!

Today, we started learning about the Fungi Kingdom. We learned a lot of fun facts from our fungi video. Some fun facts our table teams learned were:

- Fungi can help plants. It gives the soil nutrients and also kills plants. It decomposes animals, trees, and leafs.

- Mold feeds off of rotting things. Fungus helps the environment by decomposing dead things so it makes the soil rich.

- Fungus can stop a plant from getting water. Fungus can attack your body's cells.

- If you leave something out for a long time it will turn into mold.

- Mushrooms are fungus. Fungus can attack your body, and mold has spores.

-Fungi can destroy bone tissue, lungs, and skin cells.

- Mold / Fungus eats living organisms.

**Anyone that can add fun facts to our list, about mold/fungus/ fungi kingdom will receive extra credit.**

If you are not in our class and you also know about fungus, please inform us! We want to know it all!

We also started our mold experiment, and hopefully we will start growing mold on our bread!
