Question: "Fungi have a number of practical uses for humans. Most of us have eaten mushrooms although we may not have realized we were ingesting the fruiting bodies of subterranean fungi. In addition, mushrooms are not the only fungi we eat. The distinctive flavors of certain kinds of cheeses, including Roquefort and blue cheese, come from the fungi used to ripen them. Highly prized by gourmets are truffles, the fruiting bodies of certain mycorrhizal fungi associated with tree roots. The unicellular fungi, the yeasts, are important in food production. Yeasts are used in baking, brewing, and winemaking. Fungi are medically valuable as well. Some fungi produce antibiotics that are used to treat bacterial diseases. In fact, the first antibiotic discovered was penicillin, which is made by the common mold called Penicillium."
