1)Cell wall made of Chitin
2)Heterotrophs and major Decomposers
3)Body is made of Long filaments of hyphae which form a mycelium
4)Reproduce sexually and asexually
Asexually by spores
Sexually by mating of hyphae filaments
Slide 5
An example of Fungi You know
Slide 6
Mushrooms Club Like Fungi or Basidiomycete Fungi
Slide 7
Bracket Fungi Basidiomycete Fungi
Slide 8
Bread Mold a Zygomycete Fungi
Slide 9
Cup Fungi Ascomycete Fungi
Note the cup shapes and orange peel colour
Slide 10
Kingdom Fungi you must know 5 Major Phyla
Phylum Zygomycota = the Bread Molds
Rhizopus black bread mold
Oomycota = the Water Molds
Water mold, potato blight, mildew
Phylum Ascomycota = the Sac Fungi
Yeast, morels, truffles
Phylum Basidiomycota = the Club Fungi
Mushrooms, puffballs, bracket fungi, rusts, smuts, toadstools
Phylum Deuteromycota = the Fungi Imperfecti
Slide 11
-are primarily decomposers
-asexual spores may be produced in sporangia
-sexual reproduction occurs between + and strains forming a 2n zygote; a zygospore develops and may lie dormant for a long period of time; meiosis occurs just before germination
-only the zygote is diploid; all hyphae and asexual spores are haploid
Slide 12
The fungal mass of hyphae, known as the MYCELIUM penetrates the bread and produces the fruiting bodies on top of the stalks
Mycelia = a mass of hyphae or filaments
Slide 13
Rhizoids = root-like hyphae
The zhizoids meet underground and mating occurs between hyphae of different molds (SEXUAL REPRODUCTION)
