Fuel plant:
The kerosene fungus is the only plant that can live even on fuel. In order to live, fungus needs carbohydrates. but unlike green plants, they cannot use the energy of sunlight to manufacture their own food. Instead, they absorb carbohydrates directly from plants or animals. If there is any way of getting to a source of nourishment, be it dead or alive, a fungus will usually find it.

AMORPHOTHECA RESINAE |
The kerosene fungus (Amorphotheca Resinae) can live even in jet fuel tanks and use the fuels as a source of food. Kerosene based fuels are made up hydrocarbons. If there is a slight trace of water in the tank, the fungus is able to extract carbon from the fuel and it is converted into carbohydrate.
