I’m really confused about this one. Let’s say I kind of understand the way fungi develop eg. on food – it rots over time and the fungus has like the ‘basis’ to grow on. But on walls? I know they need high humidity and temperature to develop but in the end humidity is just water vapour in the air, so all that’s left is a piece of wall and water, I don’t get where the fungus comes from.
In: Biology
Fungi release spores which travel around and land just about everywhere. If the conditions (temp, humidity, light, nutrients) allow it, those spores grow into fungi. There is a huge amount of diversity among fungi, including the conditions they’re able to survive and thrive under.
