真菌是岩石和矿物表面的普遍居民，是重要的地球活性剂。真菌能够对金属和矿物质进行多种转化，可以在最不利的环境中繁荣发展，它们的活动受到生长形式和新陈代谢的支持。自由生活的丝状物种，微菌落真菌和地衣可以显着改变岩石的表面结构和外观，从变色和染色到生物退化和形成新的生物矿物和岩石涂层。真菌的存在和活动应考虑在任何岩石和矿物转化的研究，试图了解生物和非生物过程，支持地球化学变化的生物圈。
Fungi are ubiquitous inhabitants of rock and mineral surfaces and are significant geoactive agents. Capable of numerous transformations of metals and minerals, fungi can prosper in the most adverse of environments, their activities underpinned by growth form and metabolism. Free-living filamentous species, microcolonial fungi and lichens can significantly change a rock's surficial structure and appearance, ranging from discolouration and staining to biodeterioration and the formation of new biogenic minerals and rock coatings. The presence and activity of fungi should be considered in any study of rock and mineral transformations that seeks to understand the biotic and abiotic processes that underpin geochemical change in the biosphere.
