Mold/Mould, fungus, mildew and mushrooms are all general terms when describing living Species belonging to the Kingdom of Fungi.
Like the Animal Kingdom and the Plant Kingdom, the Kingdom of Fungi has several Classes, Orders, Family, Genera and Species.
Fungi include mushrooms, toadstools, yeast, and moulds/mildews.
It is estimated that there are 1.5 million species of fungi of which only about 100,000 have been described.
Fungi are divided into 3 basic categories, depending on their nutrient sources:
-Saprophytic fungi - Obtain nourishment from the breakdown of dead organic materials e.g., Cellulose (e.g. wood, paper, drywall backing) Starch-based pastes (e.g. in wallpaper), Proteins (e.g. keratin in animal skin – Leather).
-Parasitic fungi - Obtain nourishment from a host Organism.
-Symbiotic fungi - Typically two dissimilar organisms living together in mutually beneficial relationship.
