Chapter 21- Fungi
Edible morels from Phylum Basidiomycota
Kingdom Fungi• eukaryotic
21-1
•most = sexual/ asexual rep.
•classified by rep. structures
•mostly multicellular; some unicellular (yeasts: most primitive form of fungi)
•cell walls = CHITIN•external, absorptive heterotrophs-release enzymes and break down food externally, then absorb nutrients
Structures: •hyphae- subunits of multicellular fungi, cross walls or no cross walls
•Mycelium- mass of hyphae; nutrient absorption; contain fruiting body (rep. structure ex: mushroom)
4 major groups: * “common molds”* sac fungi* club fungi* imperfect fungi
•Sporangia- produce spores; found at the tips of specialized hyphae called sporangiophores
•Spores- dispersed by wind or animals; germinate in favorable conditions
21-1
Fairy Ring
A. Life cycle includes zygospores-spore that contains zygotes
I. Common molds- Zygomycota
B. Rhizoids-root-like hyphae; grow down
21-2
Fertilization
Meiosis
Asexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Black Bread Mold- Rhizopus stolonifer
C. Stolons-hyphae that runs along surface; will form sporangiophores with sporangia
II. Sac-fungi-Ascomycota A. ascus- sexual rep.structure that contains ascospores
B. conidia- asexual spores
C. yeasts- unicellular; oldest and most primitive fungi; sexual (ascospores) or budding (asexual)
21-2
Figure 21–6 These cup fungiare members of the phylumAscomycota. In cup fungi, asci lie on the interior surface of the cup. At maturity, the spore-filled asci burst, releasing the spores into the air.
III. Club-fungi-Basidiomycota
A. Basidium- club-shaped rep. structure; found in the gills that grow on the underside of cap
B. Most complex life cycle of all fungi
C. Ex: Puffball, Stinkhorn, Shelf Fungi, Bird’s Nest Fungus; Jelly Fungi; Mushroom

IV. Deuteromycota- Imperfect Fungi
A. No known mode of sexual rep.
B. Most closely resemble ascomycetes (sac-fungi)
C. Best known:Penicillium; fruit mold/ antibiotics
21-2
Penicillium Conidiophores - Orange Peel
Penicillium notatum (Produces Penicillin)
V. Ecology of Fungi 21-3
A. Saprobes (organisms that obtain food from decaying organic matter) and parasites
B. Decomposers- recycle nutrients in ecosystems
C. Parasites
1. plants-corn smut, fruit mildews; wheat rust; 15-50% crops lost to fungi from temperate to tropical zones
2. Animals- athlete’s foot/ ringworm (deuteromycete); yeast infections/ thrush (yeast-ascomycete);
21-3D.Symbiotic Relationships
1. Lichens- mutualism between fungi/ algae or fungi/ cyanobacteriai. fungi= provides minerals/ SA for water absorption; protection for algae; algae or cyanobacteria = make sugar via photosynthesis
ii. drought/ cold resistant = pioneer species
iii. Indicators of air quality- sensitive to air pollution
2. Mycorrizhae-means ”fungal root”; mutualism b/t fungi/ plant roots
21-3
i. 80% of plant species have mycorrizhae
ii. Fungi- increase surface area for water/ mineral absorption; plant roots= offer fungi sugars from photosynthesis.
