More than most other living beings, fungi can be essential to other forms of life.
By breaking down and processing decaying matter, and recycling it back into nutrients, they directly or indirectly support life in the forests and other ecosystems.
It is estimated that 85% of all plants depend on mushrooms.
Besides the saprophoric mushrooms, some species rather establish symbiotic relationships with trees and plants.
Likewise some fungi even permanently live on human skin, we provide them food, and they keep harmful bacteria away.
