Excerpt from British Fungus-Flora, Vol. 1 of 3: A Classified Text-Book of Mycology Fungi belong to the division of plants known as Crypto gains, amongst which they are conspicuous by the entire absence of chlorophyll. This peculiarity determines the mode of life of the fungi, and limits their distribution to those places where organic matter is present, which serves as food, as owing to the absence of chlorophyll inorganic matter cannot be assimilated.

Some species are saprophytes during one period of their existence and parasites at another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
