	Fungi - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Fungi (singular: fungus) is a term referring to biological organisms that are ranked in their own kingdom within the Domain Eukaryota.
		Fungi are heterotrophic, that is they get their energy by breaking down organic molecules, and cannot synthesize organic molecules from inorganic substances (as plants do).
		Two main ecological niches occupied by fungi are that of the decomposer (detritivore) or saprophyte, and that of the parasite.

	Fungi on Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Previously classified in the plant kingdom, fungi are nonmotile, like plants, but lack the vascular tissues (phloem and xylem) that form the true roots, stems, and leaves of plants.
		Unlike algae or plants, fungi lack the chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis and must therefore live as parasites or saprobes (see parasite).
		Some types of fungi are involved in symbiotic relationships, for example, lichens (a combination of a fungus and a green alga or a cyanobacterium) and the mycorrhizae (symbiosis between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant).

	CRDConcept: fungi: health effects
		Fungi exposures have three possible reactions from human: allergic reactions, infections and toxic responses.
		Clinically recognized diseases caused by fungi include cancer, infection, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and allergic bronchopilmanary aspergillosis.
		Health and welfare associated to the fungi have been an important concern (Health and Welfare Canada, 1987) and have been targets of much research (Miller, 1992; Dales, et al., 1991; Beneke and Rogers, 1996; de Hoog and Guarro, 1995; Kwong-Chung and Bennett, 1992; Spengler et al., 1992).

		Featuring 1,000 species of higher fungi found in the British Isles and northern Europe, from the most common to the rarest and including some never hitherto published photographically, this is the most comprehensive photographic handbook for the dedicated mycologist, general naturalist or mushroom hunter collecting for the cooking pot.
		To ensure that the fruiting bodies are shown in their true colours and forms, the superb colour photographs in this encyclopedia have been taken live and in situ in natural light, making it the most thorough and realistic photographic field guide available.
		The Encyclopedia includes an introduction to mushroom biology, a guide to the tools and methods of foraging for mushrooms, making it a superb central reference source or a self-contained and comprehensive guide to the practical study and collection of fungi.
