Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that have true nuclei surrounded by nuclear membranes and rigid cell walls composed of chitin and other polysaccharides. They can grow in the form of molds or yeasts. Molds grow through the development of branching filamentous structures called hyphae that make up the mycelium, while yeasts grow primarily by budding and may form chains or clusters of cells. Fungi live in diverse habitats around the world as saprophytes that decompose organic matter or as parasites of plants, animals, and insects. Many fungi are used commercially in food production, such as Saccharomyces in brewing and baking or Penicillium roqueforti in cheesemaking.
