  • Blue-green algae can be helpful in agriculture as they have the capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen to the soil. This nitrogen is helpful to the crops. Blue-green algae are used as a biofertilizer.
  • A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. This fruiting body is produced by Fungi belonging to Basidiomycetes, and is called the basidiocarp.
