Answers:

Fungi form one of the three major Kingdoms of life, alongside Plants and Animals. Fungi are like animals in that they feed on organic matter, but like plants in that they live rooted in one place. Most of them are quite specialised, needing certain conditions and a certain growing medium in order to develop. Fungi spread via tiny spores. The gills in the underside of mushrooms are where spores emerge and blow away, for example. Anywhere you look with a microscope there will be fungal spores from many different species waiting for the right conditions so they can start to develop. Any kind of organic material may be susceptible to fungus. Most living things have defences, but some fungi manage to get around them, for example honey fungus, which can attack living trees, and athlete's foot, which infects people. Various fungal infections can affect people, thrush is another common one, but most are treatable and not serious.
