Fungus

Mushrooms, soup, yeast, bread, cheese, and oranges. Fungus can grow on all of these things. Most species of fungi are many-celled. The body of a fungus is usually millions of cells threaded together like tubes called hyphae. The hyphae produce enzymes which help break down food outside of fungi. Then the fugal cells absorb the digested food.
