    Fungi are more related to animals than plants because they are not photosynthetic. They can be harmful because they do not respond to traditional antibiotic but they are also commercially beneficial especially in the food industry that uses yeast like baking, brewing and cheese and wine making. The pileus is the term given to the cap-like structure of the fungi. It supports the spore-bearing surface which is the hymenium which consists of lamellae, tube or teeth on the underside of the pileus. Annulus is the ring-like structure found in the stipes of some species of mushroom and is a remnant of the partial veil. Stipe is the stem or stalk of the mushroom that supports the cap of the mushroom. Volva is the caplike structure found at the base of the fungi which is a remnant of the universal veil. Hypha is the long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus that is the main mode of vegetative growth. Each fungus has a vast number of these hyphae which are intertwined to make a tangled web called mycelium. Through mycelium, fungus absorb nutrients from its environment.
