Stephen Curry is the best shooter in the National Basketball Association, bar none, and winner of the leagueâs Most Valuable Player award â and he could be worth $1 billion to athletic apparel maker Under Armour Inc. At least, thatâs what Chief Executive Kevin Plank is hoping.
A fungus (plural: fungi) is a kind of living organism: yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are types of fungi. The fungi are a separate kingdom of living things, different from animals and plants.
1 Some fungi are parasitic, causing serious damage to their host (a few examples are given below). 2  Some fungi are both. 3  Metarhizium robertsii is a soil fungus that lives symbiotically with plants but parasitizes (and kills) soil insects. 4  Its hyphae penetrate both the roots of the plant and the corpse of the insect. Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. 2  An interwoven mass of hyphae is called a mycelium. 3  The walls of hyphae are often strengthened with chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine.
