This is why fungi are important. 
All animals and plants cannot live without fungi. This may seem like exaggeration, but recent research has shown that even plants that acquire nutrients from photosynthesis require fungi. In addition, especially for the Japanese people, they are essential life partners. Letʼs think about the relationships between our lives and fungi.

Fungi are our life partners
Edible mushrooms, bread, soy sauce, and sake:

These cannot be separated from the lives of the Japanese. Soy sauce and miso are prepared through fermentation by the koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae). Seasonings, such as sake and mirin and dried bonito are also prepared using fungi. Bread, wine, and beer are all prepared through fermentation by yeast. Fungi are involved in the production of various fermented foods, thereby adding value to
our lives.

Medicinal supplies and ornaments:

The very first antibiotic (drugs to suppress bacterial growth) was penicillin, which was produced by a type of mold. A variety of physiologically active substances are also known to be produced by fungi; they are indeed an important biological resource for medicinal products. Moreover, pigments from fungi can be
used as dyes (e.g., mushroom dye), and they are often used in arts, thereby enriching our lives

Using fungi to treat material: 

You may wonder whether clothes and fungi are related. As the enzymes produced by fungi degrade a variety of substances, they are used to remove stains and process fibers. For instance, when denim is processed by an enzyme called cellulase, it creates a stone-washed texture where the surface is partially broken. An enzyme lipase, which degrades oil, is also used in detergent
