If you have ever kept fruits, vegetables, or even bread in your kitchen for a long time, you have probably noticed the formation of a grayish and fuzzy covering over them. But what exactly are those grayish-white filaments? Are they dangerous for us? They are living things and they belong to the group of organisms called fungi. These fungi grow on other organisms, using them as a source of nourishment. In this article, we introduce fungi and describe how they can attack plants, fruits, and vegetables.

Abstract
If you have ever kept fruits, vegetables, or even bread in your kitchen for a long time, you have probably noticed the formation of a grayish and fuzzy covering over them. But what exactly are those grayish-white filaments? Are they dangerous for us? They are living things and they belong to the group of organisms called fungi. These fungi grow on other organisms, using them as a source of nourishment. In this article, we introduce fungi and describe how they can attack plants, fruits, and vegetables.
