Fungi Inferior

Lower mushrooms (lat. Fungi imperfecti) are a group of fungi that do not have well-developed mycelium and hyphae. They differ from higher fungi in that they do not form mycelium on the surface of the body, and also do not form fruiting bodies and do not have hyphae.

Inferior fungi are a large group of organisms that includes many different types of fungi. They can be both parasites and saprophytes. Despite the fact that they do not form mycelium on the surface, they are very important for ecosystems, since they participate in the cycle of substances and play an important role in the decomposition of organic matter.

One example of lower fungi is penicillium, one of the most well-known species of fungi that is used to produce antibiotics. Penicillium does not form mycelium or fruiting bodies, but grows in thin threads called hyphae that spread over the surface.

In addition to penicillium, lower fungi include mucor, aspergillus and other types of fungi. Each has its own characteristics and functions in the ecosystem, and they all play important roles in many processes related to organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling.

Thus, lower fungi are an important group of organisms that play an important role in ecosystems. They do not form mycelium or fruiting bodies, but their role in nutrient cycling and decomposition of organic matter is very important.
