Fungi have a higher tolerance for highly hypertonic environments, which means they can survive in environments with high salt, sugar or other solute concentrations. This is why they are more likely to be found in a jar of jelly, which has a high sugar concentration, compared to bacteria that have a lower tolerance for such environments.
