Fungi Basics

• Heterotrophs
• Cannot perform photosynthesis
• release enzymes to absorb nutrients
• Cells similar to animals
• Reproduction Sexual Asexual
• Evolved from fungus-like protista

3
Fungi Structure

• Spores land on ground
• Hyphae grow from spore
• Release enzymes to digest food
• Absorb nutrients
• Mycelium accumulates
• Body of the fungus
• Large mass of hyphae
• Fruiting body appears
• reproductive structure
• creates spores by meiosis
• Fungi classified based on fruiting bodies

Asexual Reproduction

1. Spore lands on ground
2. Hyphae grow from sporemycelium accumulates
3. Fruiting body grows above ground
4. More spores are released

6
Zygote Fungi

• Bread molds
• Fruiting body
• Spores produced inside sporangia (sporangium)
• Spores released into air

7
Zygote Fungi

• Bread molds
• Fruiting body
• Spores produced inside sporangia (sporangium)
• Spores released into air

Spores land on the bread
Hyphae begin to grow into a mass of mycelium
Two fungi fuse together
Fruiting body pops up and releases more spores
8
Club Fungi

• Mushrooms, puffballs, shelf fungi
• Fruiting body
• looks like club
• Spores produced inside basidia (basidium)
• Spores released into air

Sac Fungi

• Yeast, morals, truffles
• Fruiting body
• resembles a sac
• Spores produced in Asci (ascus)
• Spores released into air

Lichens

• Often pioneer species (grow on rock)
• Two organisms living in mutualism
• Organism 1 Fungus
• Organism 2 Green organism (algae or
  cyanobacteria)
• Both benefit
• Fungus obtains nutrients
• Green organism obtains home to grow in gets
  water

14
Kingdom Fungi

• Zygote fungi
• Make zygospore
• Spores housed inside sporangia

• Club fungi
• Fruiting body looks like club
• Spores housed inside basidia

• Lichen
• ½ fungus
• ½ algae or cyanobacteria
• Pioneer species

• Sac fungi
• Fruiting body looks like a sack
• Spores housed inside asci
