I am investigating the possibility that there may be a form of carnivorous fungi which can infect humans. It would manifest in scalp region, and spores may have systemic consequences. No evidence that it becomes dangerous. I would consider it to be a parasite.
May have been used by geneticists to develop novel pesticide\insecticide, but so far, I have not discovered evidence of this.
2nd Answer:
True, but there are a number of fungi who do eat tiny, tiny bits of humans, usually on the skin. Some examples are the Ringworm fungus, the tinea corporis fungus that also live on human skin, the tinea cruris usually in the groin area (Jock itch), and its cousin, tinea pedis, which infects the feet, especially between the toes. (Athlete's foot), and tinea unguium which grow under the toenails.
In addition, there are a number of fungi that can infect the inside of the body, and which can be deadly, as there are few medicines that will kill their spores.
Many animals and organisms eat fungi, including insects, slugs, snails, and some small mammals like mice. These organisms feed on fungi as a food source in their diet.
Fungi are decomposers, meaning they break down organic matter like dead plants and animals. They absorb nutrients from this matter, which helps them grow and reproduce. Some fungi also form symbiotic relationships with plants, helping them to access nutrients from the soil.
None known to humans. As of yet, no species of fungi which can whether an aquatic medium has been discovered. Because they lack cell walls, they might easily lyse due to high osmotic pressure.
Mushrooms are the most common type of fungi that are consumed by humans. This includes varieties such as button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. Some people also consume truffles and yeasts, but these are less common.

Predators which are carnivorous animals prey on and eat buffalo. Humans also eat buffalo, even though they are not carnivorous themselves.
Any fungi in Antarctica must be classified as a micro-organism, because the continent is so inhospitable to growing -- anything. No humans on Antarctica -- all temporary workers or scientists -- eat these fungi.
The carnivorous wild animal eat humans but there is wild animal that doesn't eat human such as a wild horse.
Yes because they eat the fungi.
Ascomycota, Mucoromycotina, and Basidiomycota are examples of phyla with predatory fungi species. The carnivorous fungi tend to live in soil and eat nematodes or other small animals.
They were carnivorous, and would eat cattle, sheep, and humans, among other things.

Carnivorous creatures do not eat plants.
Carnivorous animals are dangerous. Humans are not known as carnivorous animals.
no. technically humans are omnivores as they eat both plants and animals as food because humans need protein and vitamins and minerals etc.
Absolutely; mushrooms are a kind of fungus and humans eat them all the time.
