Question:

Which of the following is NOT a type of Fungi?

Options:

Agarics

Penicillium

Gonyaulax

Aspergillus

Correct Answer:

Gonyaulax

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3)- Gonyaulax

Gonyaulax is NOT a type of fungi. Gonyaulax is a genus of marine dinoflagellates, which are a type of unicellular protists. The other options (Agarics, Penicillium, and Aspergillus) are indeed types of fungi:

  1. Agaricus: This refers to the group of fungi that includes mushrooms with gills, such as the common edible mushroom (Agaricus bisporus).
  2. Penicillium: This is a genus of mold fungi, and certain species are used in the production of antibiotics, including penicillin.
  3. Aspergillus: This is another genus of mold fungi, and some species are used in the fermentation process for food and beverage production.
