It can be either, depending on the fungi.

Morel, Shiitake and Portabello mushrooms are all fungi that are both edible and tasty.

Foot fungus is a fungi that's uncomfortable.

And Fly Amanita mushrooms are fungi that'll kill you if you eat them.

Some fungi damage food products, paper, leather, paint and textiles.

Some fungi cause diseases in crops(for example Puccinia and Ustilsgo), in humans beings (Microsporium, Artroderma) and in animals (Dactylella and Artrobotrys).

One beautiful mushroom, Amanita, contains a poison deadly to humans.
