 	An Entangled World	They're in the dirt, the water, and the air. They're in our homes, in our food, and even inside our bodies. They're entangled with just about every organism and ecosystem on Earth. There's a lot happening in this often-overlooked kingdom.	10 	- 	-
=== Fungi Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Mycology 	The study of fungi is called mycology. While biologists once thought that fungi were in the same family as plants, they are actually more closely related to animals. 	600 	50% 	Fungi
 	Mushrooms	Mushrooms are the spore-bearing, fruiting part of a fungus. They grow above ground and usually have a stem, cap, and gills, with colors ranging from drab to brilliant. Edible varieties are cultivated on farms or gathered in the wild by experienced foragers.	5,000 	1,000% 	Fungi
 	Yeast 	Yeasts are an ancient family of single-celled fungi that reproduce trough budding. Some species of yeast are beneficial, aiding in processes like fermentation. Others are pathogens that can cause infections, like the insidious Candida. 	2.00 E15	2.00 E11% 	Tasty Fungi Fungi
 	Mold 	Molds are multicellular colonies of fungi that grow togetheras a mass of thin filaments. When this telltale layer of fuzz starts growing on food and breaking it down, a foul smell and a nasty taste follow—we call this "spoilage. 	2.00 E18	25,000% 	Blue Cheese Fungi
=== Fungal Living Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Diet 	Fungi are heterotrophs, organisms that can't reproduce their own food. They must break down other organic matter to access nutrients, and they're very efficient at it. They can penetrate multiple layers of the tissue that they're feeding on. 	1,250 	100% 	Fungal Living
 	Reproduction 	Fungi reproduce via many methods, both sexual and asexual, from budding to spore dispersal. In this huge and varied kingdom, there are no hard and fast rules for how new fungi are born. 	2,000 	100% 	Fungal Living
 	Hydrolytic Enzymes	Since they don't have a stomach to digest food, fungi effectively use the outside world as their stomach—they secrete hydrolytic enzymes into the environment around them. These digestive juices break down large organic molecules so they can be absorbed as nutrients.	50,000 	100% 	Diet
 	Spores 	Spores are individual cells containing genetic information, used in both sexual and asexual reproduction. Evolution has primed them to spread as far as possible and survive almost anything. 	150,000	200% 	Reproduction
 	Symbiosis 	Symbiosis is a mutually beneficial partnership between two organisms. Fungi are one of the most versatile symbionts on Earth, pairing with members of almost every other kingdom. Fungi form symbiotic relationships with algae, plants, insects, and even humans. 	5.00 E7	5,000% 	Fungal Living
 	Growth 	Fungi are made up of long, cylindrical filaments called hyphae. They expand by branching, sprouting new growths off from an existing hyphae to create huge networks with many connections. 	1.00 E9	1,000% 	Reproduction
=== Fungal Cleaners Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Bioremediation 	Fungi are impressive omnivores, able to use almost anything as a food source. Some species can gobble up heavy metals, oil, and chemicals from contaminated water or soil. This is a process called bioremediation, used to fight pollution. 	2.00 E6 	200% 	Fungal Cleaners
 	Radiotrophic Fungi	In the depths of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, scientists have found evidence of new life: colonies of radiotrophic, or radiation-eating, fungi that live on radioactive material. They don't just survive here: they thrive. 	1.50 E7 	300% 	Bioremediation
 	Decomposition 	Fungi break dead organisms down into useful nutrients. Some are consumed by the fungus, and some are returned to the soil to help feed plants and animals. 	1.50 E10	1,500% 	Fungal Cleaners
 	Fungal Burial 	Environmentally conscious individuals may wish to forgo a coffin when they die. Instead, they might opt for a mushroom burial suit made from cotton and fungal spores. This method decomposes a body quickly and with little to the environment.	1.50 E11	2,500% 	Decomposition
=== Fungi of the Forest Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Mycorrhiza 	A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant. The fungus connects with a plant through its root network, enriching the soil with nutrients and helping the plant survive tough conditions. 	7.00 E8 	100% 	Fungi of the Forest
 	Mycelial Network	Fungi connect to each other trough large, complex networks of hyphae. This mass, called the mycelium, can also mingle with plant roots, binding fungi and flora together. Organisms intertwined through the mycelial network can even communicate using chemicals and electrical signals. 	9.00 E9 	100% 	Growth Fungi of the Forest
 	Ghost Orchid 	The rare, beautiful Eurasian ghost orchid lacks chlorophyll, so it can't perform photosynthesis. Instead, it relies on mycelial networks to bring it nutrients from other plants. This free rider is a particularly lovely parasite, living off the bounty of the forest. 	4.00 E10	100% 	Decomposition Fungi of the Forest
 	Defense Alert 	The mycelial networks of the forest form an organic information superhighway. When a broad bean plant is being eaten by aphids, it can send signals through the netwark to raise an alarm. Warned of the attack, neighboring plants release chemicals that attract wasps to prey on the aphids.	8.00 E10	100% 	Mycelial Network
=== Domesticated Fungi Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Building Material	Mycelium is extremely strong. When dried it is very durable, resistan to water, fire, and mold. Bricks made from sustainable mycelium are an experimental alternative to traditional building materials like concrete and wood. 	6.00 E11	300% 	Domesticated Fungi
 	Pesticides 	Toxic or parasitic fungi that target insects in the wild can be put to use as a biopesticide. Once the spores of these mushrooms land on an insect and infect it, they start growing from the inside out until the pest is destroyed. 	1.50 E12	1,000% 	Domesticated Fungi
 	Medicine 	Fungi have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, but scientists are only beginning to understand the mechanisms that make them useful. Some fungi are used in cancer treatment, some can lower cholesterol, and some are immunosuppressants. 	2.00 E13	200% 	Domesticated Fungi
 	Antibiotics 	Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, when he noticed mold growing on an unattended petri dish. He observed how the fungus killed all the bacteria around it. Today there are many different classes of antibiotics, all derived from this one discovery.	4.00 E20	3.00 E8% 	Mold Medicine
=== Tasty Fungi Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Edible Mushrooms	Edible mushrooms are a common ingredient in cuisine all over the world. From portobellos to maitakes, oysters to enokis, mushrooms are eaten on pizzas, in soups and stews, and on their own. 	1.20 E14	200% 	Tasty Fungi
 	Truffles 	Truffles have long been prized for their strong fragrance and rich flavor. Rare and diffcult to find—they grow underground and must be sniffed out by trained dogs or pigs—they fetch high prices on the culinary market. 	8.00 E14	150% 	Edible Mushrooms
 	Bread 	Given a mix of water and flour to feed on, yeasts convert sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide bubbles that make bread dough light and puffy. This rising process is the key to baking many types of bread. The earliest records of this technique are from Ancient Egypt.	4.00 E16	400% 	Yeast Tasty Fungi
 	Fermentation 	Under oxygen-free conditions, yeasts and bacteria can convert carbohydrates to alcohols or other organic compounds. Humans have been harnessing this process to make bread, cheese, pickles, and alcoholic beverages for over 13,000 years. 	9.00 E16	100% 	Tasty Fungi
 	Cheese Ripening 	While most cheese is cured using bacteria, yeast can also be an important ingredient in the ripening process. Cheese like Limburger, Camembert, and Buffalo mozzarella use yeasts to achieve their distinctive texture and flavor. 	2.50 E17	400% 	Fermentation
 	Blue Cheese 	Blue cheese is a type of cheese that contains veins of mold. While the strong smell and tangy flavor can be an aquired taste, it's popular around the world. Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and Stilton are all blue cheeses. 	7.00 E17	150% 	Cheese Ripening
 	Alcohol 	Yeast is an essential ingredient in winemaking and beer brewing. Once humanity mastered fermentation, it was quickly used to produce alcohol. Jugs thought to have been used for fermenting alcohol have been found dating back to the Stone Age. 	9.00 E22	7.50 E6 	Fermentation
=== Unwelcome Fungi Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Moldy Food 	When food products are stored improperly or go uneaten for too long, mold will begin the work of decomposition, spoiling the food and rendering it inedible. If you're surprised by mold growing on your lunch, don't eat it! 	1.50 E19	800% 	Unwelcome Fungi
 	Fungal Infections 	Not all fungi are nice. Some can cause serious problems for their hosts, be they plants, insects, or humans. 	6.00 E19	150% 	Unwelcome Fungi
 	Plant Blight 	While many plants live in harmony with fungi, some are harmed by the association. Fungal infections are behind devastating crop blights, which cause famines and can threaten or wipe out entire species of plants. 	5.00 E21	500% 	Fungal Infections
 	Black Mold 	Black mold is rare in the wild but thrives in damp, poorly maintained buildings. Often discovered in houses that have suffered water damage, it's costly and difficult to remove. The airborne spores are toxic to humans and pets—if you see black mold, steer clear. 	1.20 E22	300% 	Moldy Food
 	Human Illness 	Usually entering through the skin or the lungs, fungal infections in humans can be very serious. From athlete's foot fungus to itchy, painful Candida yeast infections to the chronic disease coccidioidomycosis, or Valley Fever, fungi are never welcome guests in the human body.	4.00 E22	100% 	Black Mold Fungal Infections
 	Poisonous Mushrooms	Many fungi produce compounds that can seriously sicken or kill humans and animals. From toxic molds on crops to poisonous toadstools picked by unwary foragers, these unfriendly fungi shouldn't be eaten under any circumstances. 	3.00 E24	4000% 	Unwelcome Fungi
 	Amanita 	One of the most recognizable mushrooms is the Fly Agaric, or Amanita muscaria. With it bright red cap and white spots, it's become in pop culture. It's dangerous to ingest, and can induce hallucinogenic experiences, illness, or death. 	1.00 E25	400% 	Poisonous Mushrooms
 	Parasitic Fungi 	A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another creature, often stealing the host's nutrients or harming it in other ways. Parasitic fungi infect and hijack their hosts, sometimes destroying them in the process. 	1.00 E26	1500% 	Unwelcome Fungi
=== Mind-Altering Fungi Efficiency ===
Icon	Name 	Description 	Cost 	Efficiency	Requires
 	Scent & Taste 	In some situations, making yourself appealing to a predator can be as useful as trying to scare it away. Fungi have evolved mouthwatering smells and pleasant flavors so they will be eaten, cultivated, and spread across the globe. 	4.00 E23	600% 	Mind-Altering Fungi
 	Psychedelic Mushrooms	Some species of mushrooms can cause hallucinogenic side effects when eaten. Psilocybin mushrooms are consumed as part of spiritual rituals in many indigenous cultures. Medical researchers are experimenting with small doses of these mushrooms to treat ailments such as PTSD, depression, and alcoholism. 	4.00 E25	1,500% 	Poisonous Mushrooms Mind-Altering Fungi
 	Cordyceps 	The Cordyceps fungus is known for its bright orange, club-shaped mushrooms and for its ability to infect and hijack the bodies of ants and other insects. One especially gruesome species first induces its victim to climb to a high spot where its spores can be dispersed. Then the fungus consumes the ant alive, finally sprouting a spore-bearing stalk from the head of its corpse.	1.00 E27	100% 	Parasitic Fungi
