The fruiting bodies of fungi are known as [[mushroom]]s, and are used for culinary purposes or intoxication depending on variety, although many contain deadly [[toxin]]s.  The scientific study of fungi is known as [[mycology]].

In the biblical creation worldview, fungi were created by God during the [[Creation Week]] approximately 6,000 years ago.  The Bible suggests that the mycorrhizal, endophytic, and land-dwelling, saprophytic fungi were likely created on Day 3 along with plants, while other fungi (that is, animal-associated Candida spp. and the aquatic Chytridiomycetes) were created on Days 5 and 6. <ref name="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v2/n1/fungi-from-a-biblical-perspective">[http://www.example.org Fungi from the Biblical Perspective], Answers in Genesis.</ref><ref></ref>
