It belongs to neither plant nor animal kingdom. They are included as a separate division.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mainly they are divided into 3 types<br \/>\n<\/strong>(1) Basidiomycota \u00a0Eg: &#8211; Mushrooms, toadstool, puffball Bracket fungi etc.<br \/>\n(2) Ascomycota \u00a0\u00a0Eg:- Yeast, Mildews, Truffles etc.<br \/>\n(3) Zygomycota \u00a0Eg:-Mould like fungi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They have no leaves due to which their metabolism is catabolic. They are composed of mycelia networks, which are made of fine hyphae- thread like columns of simple cells. The fungi play a major role in decomposing organic matter into inorganic. They can also cause diseases in plants, animals, and humans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since humans first used fungi the poisonous nature of some of them have been recognized. One group of fungi assimilates poisonous substances, which attack human organs such as the liver, the kidneys, and the blood circulation with potentially fatal consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The most dangerous of these fungal poisons are:<br \/>\n<\/strong>(1) x- amanitin<br \/>\nThis is the poison of the bulbosus agarics. It leads to the destruction of the liver even in small quantities and is the most frequent cause of fungal poisoning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(2) Orellanin :It leads to protracted poisonings often with permanent kidney damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(3) Gyromitrin:This also acts similarly to x- amanitin. It is the poison of gyromitra-esculental turban fungus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(4) Muscarin<br \/>\nThis poisonous substance is contained in many species of fungi. It acts as a nerve poison and affects the heart and blood circulation.It has been only recently discovered that some naturally growing fungi contain considerable amount of poisonous heavy metals like lead, quick silver and most of all cadmium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Name of the homoeopathic remedies from the fungi<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">(1) Agaricus Campestris<\/span><\/li>\n<li>(2) ,, Citrinus<\/li>\n<li>(3) ,, Emeticus<\/li>\n<li>(4) ,, Muscaricus<\/li>\n<li>(5) ,, Pantherinus<\/li>\n<li>(6) ,, Phalloides<\/li>\n<li>(7) ,, Procerus<\/li>\n<li>(8) ,, Semiglobatus<\/li>\n<li>(9) ,, Strecoranius<\/li>\n<li>(10) Boletus Laricis<\/li>\n<li>(11) ,, Luridus<\/li>\n<li>(12) ,, Satanas<\/li>\n<li>(13) Bouisla Nigrescens<\/li>\n<li>(14) Phallus Impudicus<\/li>\n<li>(15) Polyporus pinicola<\/li>\n<li>(16) Psilocybe caerulescens<\/li>\n<li>(17) Russula Foetens<\/li>\n<li>(18) Secale Cornutum<\/li>\n<li>(19) Solanum Tuberesum Aegrotans<\/li>\n<li>(20) Torula Cerevisiae<\/li>\n<li>(21) Ustilago Mydis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also added<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thalaspi Bursa-Pastoris<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A plant <\/strong>belonging to family cruciferae.
