Cell wall Fungal Morphology mold hypha/ae coenocytic
Fungal Morphology yeast bud budding yeast Other: fission yeast pseudohypha Dimorphic?
Asexual Sporangiospore /Conidiospores
General Fungal Life Cycle (based on having haploid adults) plasmogamy karyogamy zygote
Nutrition all chemoheterotrophic, extracellular digestion saprobes parasites, predators mutualists Mycosis systemic subcutaneous cutaneous superficial
Mucor spp. Absidia spp.
Polar filament Microsporidia = Microspora Example: Nosema spp. (N. connori and N. ocularum) Ocular & GI infections Microspora spp.
(Eu)penicillium plasmogamy karyogamy inside ascus dikaryon
Saccharomyces cerevisiae = baker’s & “top”-brewing yeast S. pastorianus = “bottom”-brewing yeast S. bayanus = champagne yeast Neurospora
ascus (side-cut view) ascocarp (made of dikaryotic hyphae) Morchella spp. = morels Gourmet items Tuber spp. = truffles
Aspergillus aspergillosis A. niger A. oryzae A. flavus
Pneumocystis carinii/jirovecki “thrush” Candida albicans “PC” “yeast infection” = candidiasis, balanitis (male)
Dermatophytes Trichophyton spp. Microsporum spp. Epidermophyton floccosum “ringworm” = “Tinea ____” onychomycosis
Sporothrix Stachybotrys
Claviceps -> ergot ergometrine ergotamine lysergic acid grain
Mushroom life cycle Karyogamy inside basidia zygote plasmogamy
Most used edible mushroom: Agaricus Ustilago maydis = corn smut = huitlacoche/cuitlacoche Lentinula edodes = shiitake
Amanita spp. some edible, some poisonous The Destroying Angel Amanita virosa, A. verna, A. bisporigera, & A. ocreata death cap Amanita muscaria= fly agaric Amanita calyptrata
Can be dangerous Gyromitra esculentum = false morel Amanita muscaria= fly agaric Cortinarius gentilis
Some other basidios stinkhorn puffball Bird’s nest brackets bolete ear & jelly fungus
Malasezzia furfur can cause pityriasis
Disappearing “phylum” Deuteromycetes = imperfect fungi Aspergillus Fusarium Penicillium
Symbiosis: mycorrhizae endotrophic mycorrhiza
Symbiosis: lichens crustose foliose fruticose
Useful lichens Roccella: litmus & dye Usnea: usnic acid
