Why there is more bacteria present in the eviroment the fungi?

Bacterial cells are smaller than the cells of fungi. Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning that they have complicated cellular machinery that is not found in bacterial cells. In fact, genetic studies show that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. In any event, there are vastly more bacterial cells on this planet than the cells of all of the fungi, plants and animals combined.Why there is more bacteria present in the eviroment the fungi?
maybe they are smaller....are you talking about actual numbers or biomass??? Bacteria are smaller and so there would be more in numbers, but I wonder if there are as much in biomass.
