11．When we talk of plants，most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves，but there are plants that do not look or act like other plants．Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi．
Fungi may appear almost everywhere．①They commonly grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily．Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food，fungi must take their food from animals，other plants or water．Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood，while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss（苔藓）．Mushrooms（蘑菇） are the best-known fungi．
