Actually, yeasts are unicellular fungus. I believe that fungus are the most important life-form in this planet by far. Pretty cool, huh? :)

  Fungi, like plants and animals, are eukaryotes. However, eukaryotes and bacteria occupy the same rung in the taxonomic divisions (they are domains), so it's the more appropriate correction. The third domain is prokaryotes.

    My wikipedia fact checking tells me that the third domain is archaea which together with the bacteria are prokaryotes. Or did I read sth wrong?
    • HWR_14 5y ago
      Oh, sorry, you are correct. I remembered that archaea had gotten changes and misremembered them.

  That is pretty cool! Paul Stamets is worth mentioning here. One can find a ton of media presence, books and projects from him. Very interesting stuff!

    For a second I thought you were referring to Stamets on Star Trek. Stamets, mycellium... tribute or coincidence?
