Fungi are helping us in several fascinating ways. Fungi are helping our bakeries through yeast which is used in allowing bread to rise, they are assisting in cleaning up the environment by acting as decomposers, and some can even be eaten as food by us. I will give an example.
There is a kind of mushroom called a truffle that is extremely valuable to those who harvest it, and it is considered a delicacy to those who buy this mushroom. In this way the mushroom is both helping people to get something to eat, but it is also helping our economy as a source of income.
Fungi are even helping us to collect important medical information that will help us in our lives.
As you can see, fungi are helping us in absolutely amazing ways everyday, just as they have throughout the history of our ancient world. The world is filled with strange, intriguing, disturbing, and beautiful things, and although each of these things only makes up a small part of the picture, when they are put together they make a brilliant painting filled with wonders nearly beyond our comprehension. My point is that although fungi may seem small and insignificant in the makeup of our world, they play a vital role in the survival of nature.
I hope that you have found even a small portion of enlightenment from this essay, and I hope that you have a lovely day enjoying our magical planet!
