Also known as mycoses. Very large and diverse group of microorganisms. Of major two . types: . yeasts and molds.. Mycotic. Infections:. Cutaneous. Subcutaneous. Superficial. Systemic: . Can be life-threatening. Eukaryotic heterotrophs that have cell walls. Made up of chitin, a complex carbohydrate that is also found in the external skeletons of insects. What are fungi?. Although they rely on other organisms as a food source, they do not ingest their food. Fungi secrete hydrolytic enzymes, digest food outside their bodies, and absorb small molecules..
