Many secondary metabolites of fungi are of great commercial importance. Funginaturally produce antibiotics to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, limiting their competition in the natural environment. Important antibiotics, such as penicillin and the cephalosporins, can be isolated from fungi.

- Pestalotiopsis microspora  can cause disease in some plants.

- If it grows 10 times faster, we might damage new species of plants, leading to potentially a brand new crop pathogen, with potentially devastating consequences.

- Pestalotiopsis microspora  is a species of endophytic fungus capable of breaking down and digesting polyurethane and all that’s left of the plastic waste is organic matter.

- Can do all without oxygen giving mankind great hope for the reduction of landfills worldwide.

-It can remove pollutants from soils, help the conversion of waste, and the byproduct of their plastics consumption can be used to create building materials.

From the glycosides of foxglove, used as heart medicines, to the alkaloids of ipecac, used as an emetic to treat poisoning, toxic compounds and poisonous plants applied in appropriate doses provide us with many important medicines. For 80 percent of the world's people, plants are the primary source of medicine, and even in modern industrial societies, over one-quarter of prescriptions are derived at least in part from plants, many of which are potentially toxic.

Although it's fine to eat baked bread, never eat raw active yeast because these fungi are still alive and will continue to ferment in your digestive system, where they will eat your body's B-vitamins and produce gas.

# data[].attributes.body
Too much amount of yeast can cause infections and other health problems. If you take antibiotics too often or use oral birth control, your body might start to grow too much yeast. This often leads to gas, bloating, mouth sores, bad breath, a coating on your tongue, or itchy rashes.

Penicillin prevents the bacteria from synthesizing peptidoglycan, a molecule in the cell wall that provides the wall with the strength it needs to survive in the human body. The drug greatly weakens the cell wall and causes bacteria to die, allowing a person to recover from a bacterial infection.

In the Middle Ages , ergot poisoning on Northern Europe was typically fatal, and victims experienced terrible symptoms before dying. One ergot toxin constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow. The effect can be so extreme that gangrene develops and limbs shrivel and fall off. Other ergot toxins cause symptoms that include a burning sensation, vomiting, convulsive twitching, and vivid hallucinations.

Some  mushrooms are dangerous to eat; a few can even kill you, but most of them can get you pretty sick. Mushrooms with white gills, with a ring around the stem, or with a volva are often poisonous Mushrooms with a red color on the cap or stem are also either poisonous or strongly hallucinogenic.

One infamous toxin-producing fungus is the ascomycete Claviceps purpurea, which infects rye plants and causes a disease known as ergot. This fungus produces several toxins, which can affect humans if infected rye is ground into flour and consumed.

Today, new agricultural techniques have effectively eliminated ergot poisoning, but the hallucinogenic drug LSD, which is derived from a component of the ergot toxins, remains as a legacy of this disease.

Athlete's foot, is a contagious fungal infection that affects the feet's skin. It's also called athlete's food because its seen mainly on athletes.

b) raw skin on your feet
c) discolored,  thick, and crumbly toenails

is a common skin infection of the feet caused by fungus. It is harmful, can be dangerous most times and causes other diseases.The symptoms can be itching, redness and cracking.
- Common places where the fungi can survive are around swimming pools and in locker rooms.The fungus that causes athlete's foot can easily spread to the environment.
- Fungi are shed from bare feet and toes, but they also spread on dead skin cells that are constantly shed.

- Athlete's foot fungi particles and scales from affected skin can spread to socks, shoes, clothing, other people, pets, sheets, bathtubs, showers, sinks, countertops, towels, rugs, floors.

In fungus there are many kinds of yeasts. You use one type to make breads, another to brew beer. Yeast keeps your digestive system healthy and in balance.In food manufacture, yeast is used to cause fermentation and leavening. The fungi feed on sugars, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide; in beer and wine manufacture the former is the desired product, in baking it is the latter.

Corn 🤬 is a plant disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis that causes on maize and teosinte. The fungus forms galls on all above-ground parts of corn species. . It is edible, and is known in Mexico as the delicacy huitlacoche; which is eaten, usually as a filling, in quesadillas and other tortilla-based foods, and soups.
