Fungi play an important role in terms of ecology. They include a number of species which can have a directly harmful effect on mankind as they are poisonous or can cause skin and other diseases. In fact every type of soil, whether it comes from woodlands or fields, is Ian orated with the spores and hyphae of these organisms. Soil fungi perform an important mechanical role in that they store carbon dioxide and cause various chemical reactions. They participate in the breakdown of vegetable matter, in the creation of compost, in the various methods of fodder conservation and it the treatment of some agricultural products. Finally water IIn a0 partially contribute to the self-purification process of diluted waters. However, the close dependence of such Tecies on certain vegetable communities is soon evident, although in some conditions fungi are even capable of creating !heir own independent communities. Apart from bacteria, an important role is played by moulds from the Penicillium genus in the ripening of some cheeses, such as Roquefort and Gorgonzola, in which the mould grows inside the cheese and forms a network of greyish veins. In Camembert these veins only cover the surface area. These diseases are common to both man and animals. In particular fish are susceptible to water moulds, which settle on damaged skin tissue and gradually spread throughout the organism. Other moulds which attack insects are used as inmecticides.
