Characteristics Structures

• A. Appeared 400 million years ago.
• B. Heterotrophic (does not contain chlorophyll)
• - Break down organic material (leaves, branches,
  dead animals, bread, fruit and waste) by
  secreting an enzyme, breaking it down, and
  absorbing it.
• - Can be a parasite (feed off of host) like
  ringworm of athletes foot.
• Contain filamentous bodies long slender
  filaments.
• Cells of the fungi contain chitin tough, sugar
  outside.
• Hyphae (the fuzzy stuff you see). When the
  hyphae grow together in a bunch, they form
  mycelium.

Reproduction

• Reproduces by releasing spores sexually
  asexually from structures at the tip of the
  hyphae. Air carries the spores to their new
  habitat, where
• 
  they grow.

Relationships

• Mycorrhiza mutual relationship between fungi
  and vascular plants. The hyphae help transport
  phosphorous and other minerals from the soil to
  the roots of a plant while the plant provides
  carbohydrates
• to the fungus.

8
Relationships

• Lichen mutual relationship between fungus and a
  photosynthetic partner. The fungus protects the
  plant during harsh conditions (drought or cold)
  and the plant provides the fungus with
  carbohydrates.

Together, they help bring nitrogen to the soil.
They can also grow on rocks. They are usually
the first to grow in an environment.
