The entire reason the kingdom funga exists is to eat waste. You may have heard that dead trees piled up for millions of years before fungi came along, whereafter they carved a new niche for themselves in the ecosystem and consumed the detritus. Life finds a way ;)
- kamma4434 4y agoFungi, not funga - it’s masculine not neuter.
- uoaei 4y agofunga is the name of the kingdom, a recent change to align with the now-accepted designations flora and fauna (and of course bacteria and protista). Fungi is the plural when referring to organisms (i.e., instances), I am rather referring to the kingdom (i.e., the category). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funga
- jbboehr 4y agoSeems like it has no historical usage[0] and is not a valid form of fungus[1], from what I can tell. Kind of a weird choice.

- kamma4434 4y agoThanks for the clarification. It’s still sounding ugly, like if someone decided that the kingdom of mugroomz would include multiple mushrooms, but I guess it’s too late to complain
