Kingdom Fungi

  1. Fungi are multi cellular with one exception, yeast is unicellular
    1. Example: mold
  1. When fungi eat, it will secrete an enzyme on food then absorb it to gain nutrients
    1. There are three types of feeders:
      1. • Heterotrophic
      2. • Saprotrophic
      3. • Parasitic
  1. Structure:
    1. Spores: reproductive cells of fungi
    2. Hyphea (single tube): into a filament like structure that supports the spore
    3. some fungi have matting of hyphea called mycelium
    1. Plate:
      1. 5.1 P. Play sound
        Zygomycota         black bread mold “Rhizopus”
      2.  
      3. 5.3 P. Play sound
        Ascomycota         - cupped shaped fungi
          1. Ex:
            Peziza             on a branch and
            Yeast             on slide
      4.  
      5. 6.1 P. Play sound
        Basidiomycota         aka club fungi,
          1. Ex: classic mushroom: coprinus (sample in jar) slide of
            gil            , and
            Earth star            ,
            Corn smut            ,
            Bird nest             and
            Bracket
        1.  
        2. P. Play sound
          Deuteromycota          , imperfect fungi, smaller than Basidiomycota, usually parasitic
          1. Ex:
            penicillin
  1.  
  2. Unlisted Phylum
    Lichens

    1. Moss       like, made from two organisms with symbiotic relationship
      1. Algae: gives nutrience to fungi
        slide
      2. Fungi: gives structure and protection to algae
