Bad fungi are really bad!  Some mushrooms can make you sick, even though they look safe to eat.  There are fungi that love to make horrible itchy, scaly patches on your skin.  Other fungi love the warm, damp skin between your toes and make your skin crack and bleed!  If fungi get inside your body, they can cause serious problems.  Fungi love animals and plants too - lots of crops are damaged every year because fungi have attacked them!
