The mushroom depicted above is most likely from the boletus genus. The Kingdom of fungi includes mushrooms like this one, yeast, and mold. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that are detrivores and have cell walls made of chitin. Fungi are vital in the fermentation of wine and beer, because they can turn sugar into CO2. Mycology is the study of fungi and is often regarded as a branch of botany even though plants and fungi are from two different domains.
