The 27 pages that link to Fungus, each with the reason it gives.

• EukaryoteBroader topic: Fungi demonstrate that eukaryotes include absorptive organisms distinct from plants and animals.

• ChitinNarrower topic: Fungi commonly use chitin to reinforce their cell walls.

• SporangiumNarrower topic: Many fungi form spores in sporangia, though fungal spore-producing structures vary widely.

• PathogenBroader topic: Fungi can infect humans, animals, and plants.

• YeastNarrower topic: Yeasts are single-celled members of the fungal kingdom.

• Infectious diseaseBroader topic: Fungi can cause disease, especially when host defenses are impaired.

• MoldNarrower topic: Molds are one growth form within the broader fungal kingdom.

• Fungal sporeNarrower topic: Fungal spores are reproductive units of organisms in this broad kingdom.

• MicroorganismBroader topic: Yeasts and microscopic mold forms belong to this kingdom.

• ProtistCompared with: Fungi are excluded from protists even though some protists resemble them in form or nutrition.

• DecomposerBroader topic: Many familiar decomposers belong to this kingdom.

• StramenopileCompared with: Oomycetes resemble fungi in growth and nutrition but belong to a separate stramenopile lineage.

• Fruiting bodyNarrower topic: A fruiting body is one structure produced by a fungus, not the whole organism.

• DisinfectantBroader topic: Fungi can require different disinfectant activity than bacteria or viruses.

• MushroomNarrower topic: Mushroom names the visible reproductive structure or, informally, its fungus—not the fungal kingdom as a whole.

• MycobiontNarrower topic: Every mycobiont belongs to the fungal kingdom.

• Antifungal drugNarrower topic: Antifungal drugs act against organisms whose cell biology differs substantially from bacteria.

• DermatophyteNarrower topic: Dermatophytes are fungi with a specialized ability to use keratin.

• GlomeromycotaNarrower topic: Glomeromycota are classified among fungi despite their distinctive symbiotic lifestyle.

• AntifungalNarrower topic: Antifungals act on fungal organisms, whose cells share features with human cells.

• OpisthokontBroader topic: Fungi form the other familiar major branch alongside animals.

• ChanterelleNarrower topic: Chanterelles are fungi, with bodies and life cycles unlike those of plants.

• ProtozoaCompared with: Protozoa were separated from fungi, although both include diverse forms beyond familiar organisms.

• EntorrhizomycetesNarrower topic: Entorrhizomycetes belong to the kingdom Fungi.

• Helminthosporium solaniNarrower topic: Helminthosporium solani belongs to the fungi, a diverse group of absorptive organisms.

• Microbiological phenomenaBroader topic: Yeasts and molds are microbial participants in decomposition, infection, and fermentation.

• PlantCompared with: Fungi have cell walls but generally obtain food by absorption rather than photosynthesis.
