Fungi are an important, understudied group of eukaryotes. In nature, Fungi function as decomposers, pathogens, and partners in diverse symbioses, such as lichens and mycorrhizae. Fungal morphology encompasses a spectrum of forms, including mushrooms, coral fungi, puffballs, and many others. Despite their morphological variability, Fungi are anatomically simple, and they have a notoriously poor fossil record. Consequently, the evolutionary relationships of Fungi are poorly understood.
