Mushrooms

Kingdom of eukaryotic, chlorophyll-free, heterotrophic organisms
Fungi are a heterogeneous group of eukaryotic, chlorophyll-free, heterotrophic organisms that feed primarily osmotrophically, and most of which are capable of reproducing by means of spores. Most of them have a mycelial structure throughout their lives or at certain stages of development, while some—yeasts—are unicellular. The science of fungi is mycology. At the beginning of the 21st century, approximately 70-100 thousand species of fungi had been described, but their expected diversity, according to various authors, ranges from 300 thousand to 1.5 million species.
