Answer:

The polar head groups of phospholipids interact with water while the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails are packed away from the water.

Explanation:

A phospholipid contains glycerol to which hydrocarbon tails are bonded. These hydrocarbon tails make the hydrophobic region of the phospholipids and are packed away from the water to make the inner core of the membranes. Glycerol of a phospholipid also has a phosphate group attached to its third carbon. The phosphate and glycerol moiety together make the hydrophilic head part of the phospholipid and interact with the surrounding water.

Vlad1618 [11]
The answer to your question is actually quite simple. If there was a sudden decrease of Fungi the environment would be filled with more dead things. Not just that, but it would also smell terribly. Just think of it like this:  Fungi is basically like garbage collectors. They will recycle the stuff that you dont need and or want.
