Individual Research on Fungi

When conducting my own research on Fungi I found that Fungi has been scientifically placed into a category of its own, much like the animal kingdom, there is a Fungi kingdom, which I found very interesting. 

One medicinal use I found that Fungi had historically achieved, is the creation of Penicillin. Penicillin is an anti-biotic that was derived from Fungi, that was among one of the first drugs to be effective against previous serious diseases, such as Syphilis. Even though Penicillin is still used today, many bacteria have found away to work against it. Nevertheless the historical uses of the Fungi in medicine is tremendous.
