The study of these organisms certainly leads us to a better understanding of the relationships and interactions of the biotic and abiotic elements that make up terrestrial ecosystems. Thus, it is justified the inclusion of the study of fungi in the school curriculum and its implementation within the teaching planning. This work aims to analyze the pedagogical strategies developed by teachers aimed at improving the teaching of fungi in Basic Education and Higher Education.

They also point out that they are used on average (78%) in high school. It is considered that active methodologies can bring significance to the teaching of fungi in education, making students better understand the biology of these organisms that are useful and fundamental to the life of humans and other living species of the planet.
