What do they look like? • Mycelium • Tiny filaments tangled together in mass
What makes mycelium? • Hyphae • The tiny filaments • Made of Chitin or Cellulose
Fungal Reproductionaka. Fungal luv Sexual & Asexual
Asexual reproduction • Spores • Produced in Sporangia • Hyphae fragmentation
Fungal Sexual Reproduction • (+) part and (-) part meet • Gametangium forms • Zygotes produced
-mycota From greek “Mukes” word for mushroom
Common Names • Water molds • White fuzz on fish “ich” • Potatoe blight
Phylum: Zygomycota Common Molds
Common Names • Bread molds • Cheese molds • Meat molds
Zygomycetes • Chiton cell walls • Lack cross-walls • Except on reproductive structures
Asexual reproduction • Root-like Hyphae “Rhizoids” • Stolons- put sporangia in air
Sexual Reproduction • Gametangia- (+) & (-) together • Produce zygospore • Develops hyphae
Phylum: Ascomycota Sac Fungi
Common Names • Morels • Yeasts
Ascomycetes • Cellulose cell walls • Cross-walls • Nuclei can transfer between walls
Asexual reproduction • Hyphae called “Conidiophores” • Dust size spores
Sexual Reproduction • Ascus is formed from (+) & (-) • Produce ascospores • Develops from ascus “tiny sac”
The Ascus is edible Funguy says… YUM!
Yeasts • Asexually do BUDDING -new yeast formed from old -this happens in bread
Phylum: Basidiomycota Club Fungi
Common Names • Mushrooms • Puffballs • Toadstools • Plant parasites
Basidomycetes • Cellulose cell wall • Cross-walls • Cells will have two nuclei
Asexual Reproduction • There isn’t a whole lot • Possibly conidia
Sexual Reproduction • Basidium is structure • Spores germinate • 2 meet to make mycelium
secondary mycelium is formed w/ 2 nuclei • These can grow for years • Fruiting body grows to form the mushroom cap
Phylum: Deuteromycota Imperfect Fungi
Imperfect fungi • Given title due to lack of perfect understanding of their reproductive cycle
Deutromycetes • Catch-all phylum • Similar to other mycota phyla
Fungi in Nature Funguy Loves Camping!!!
Where are they found? • Anywhere • Just need • Moisture • Food
Spore Release • Thousands at a time • Placement critical • Puffballs have most • Wind, rain…
Stinkhorns • Use insects • Rotten meat smell
Symbiotic Relationships • Lichens • Mycorrhizae
Lichens • Symbiosis between algae & fungus
Lichens • Fungus provides H2O • Algae provides food
Fungi & Humans • Baking & Brewing • Stir-fry & Stewing • Poison & “coup”ing
Stir-fry & Stewing • Mushrooms • Used for foods
Poison & “coup”ing • Wild mushrooms can be poisonous • Emporer Claudius given “death caps”
Disease • Athletes foot • Ringworm • Potato Blight • Wheat rust
Potato Blight • Caused Potato Famine
Wheat Rust St.Anthony’s fire
