  5. Food

  6. Symbiosis • Lichens • Mycorrhizae

  7. Pathology

  8. General Characteristics • Eukaryotic • Mostly multicellular • Mostly haploid • Chemoheterotrophic • Extracellular digestion via exoenzymes • Saprobes (decomposers) • Parasites • Mutualisticsymbionts

  11. Asexual Reproduction • Budding

  12. Asexual Reproduction Spread by growth… …and spore dispersal

  13. Asexual Reproduction

  14. Asexual Reproduction

  15. Sexual Reproduction

  16. Sexual Reproduction • Plasmogamy • Fusion of cytoplasm of hyphae • Produces heterokaryotic cells

  17. Sexual Reproduction • Karyogamy • Fusion of nuclei • Produces diploid zygote • Meiosis produces haploid spores
