Answer:

Honestly it depends...

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say overall fungi are beneficial because they feed on dead organic matter. They recycle most of the carbon and release nutrients to be used by other organisms. They are also used for medicinal purposes. Not to mention yeast is a fungus and bread is yummy.

But certain fungi are deadly if ingested or linked to plant and human diseases. Also mold is a fungus and nobody likes mold.
