Fungi used to be considered as a part of the plant kingdom, but they are now though
to be quite different.
The main part of the fungus is a mass of tiny thread called mycelium. Fungi live on
the other organic matter in the soil. Fungi are the most important agent in the breakdown of
dead plant and animal material, recycling it so that plants can use the nutrients. Fungi live in
damp areas on in water because they have no method of preventing their fragile threads
drying out. They cannot survive dry atmospheres. There are around 50,000 species of fungi
and they include yeast, rusts, smuts, mildews, mould and mushrooms.

Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids. Arachnids have four pairs of legs but only
two body parts. Insects have three pairs of legs and three body parts. Spiders have two to
four pairs of eyes. They can see extremely well.
Spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes, and sometime bit people. When
a spider bites insect, it does not kill the insect immediately. Instead a special poison passes
through its fangs, and this poison paralyzed the body to the unlucky insects.
Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special substance produced by
their bodies. In the corner of some rooms it is possible to find a spider’s web where the
spider is waiting for its next dinner guest.
