hyphae
|
are threadlike individual filament that make up Fungi
|
|
Mycelia(um)
|
the body of the fungus where the hyphae are organized into
|
|
Chitin
|
cells of fungi have cell wall made of chitin combined with other complex carbohydrates, including cellulose.
|
|
Sporangia(um)
|
when hyphae grow upright and develop sporangia, round structures on their tips.
|
|
Zygospore
|
is thick-walled 2n nuclei and develops when (+) and (-) hyphae fuse, and utimately, nuclei from opposite strains fuse to form 2n zygote nuclei.
|
|
coprophilous
|
is the what pilobolus crystallinus is called because its fungus that grows on dung.
|
|
Rhizopus Stolonifer
|
reproduced sexually and asexually. in asexual the sporangia are dispersed through air and in sexual two fungi one with (+) and (-) must grow near eachother.
|
|
Philobolus Crystallinus
|
member of phylum Zygomycota and only does asexual reproduction by the sporangia swelling and releasing all its spores at the same time.
|
|
Zygote Fungi (Zygomycota)
|
a common organism in the phylum and it member are pilobolus crystallinus and Rhizopus Stolonifer.
|
|
spore
|
is a reporductive structure that is adaptive for disperal and can survive a long time in favorable conditions. Are usually haploid and unicellular.
|
|
Sac Fungi (ascomycota)
|
includes edible fungi, morels,and truffles, but also includes several deadly plant and animal paracites.
|
|
ascopores
|
A sexually produced fungal spore formed within an ascus
|
|
ascus
|
is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi
|
|
asci
|
the plural of ascus
|
|
ascocarp
|
asci forms withing the ascocarp which is a closed spherical structure that develops a pore at the top for dispersal.
|
|
conidia
|
are the name of the spores created in asexual reproduction and are produced on the surface of special reproducive hyphae.
|
|
bubbing
|
yeast most commonly forms this way by budding process in which small cells form by pinching off the parent cell.
|
|
Morals
|
mushrooms appear honeycomb-like in that the upper portion is composed of a network of ridges with pits between them.
|
|
Peziza
|
has a cup shaped ascocarp with asci within cup (look like alice and wonderland teacups)
|
|
Cup Fungi
|
fungi with cup-shaped ascocarp
|
|
Ergot Fungus
|
also called Claviceps purpurea that paracitic to certain grains and grasses.
|
|
Imperfect Fungi (Deuteromycota)
|
when the sexual reproductive stages of the fungi don't exist or are not found.ex. ring worm and athlets foot
|
|
Blue cheese
|
is a good imperfect fungi in the species penicillum that produces the anitbotic penicilin but also used to make blue cheese
|
|
Lichens
|
are symbiotic associations betw. fungi and usually algae or cyanobacteria that forms a body easyily recongizable.
|
|
thallus
|
is the lichen body
|
|
Symbiosis
|
commonly describes close and often long-term interactions between different biological species.
|
|
foliose
|
a leafy thallus
|
|
crustose
|
crust-like thallus
|
|
Fruticose
|
a cylindrical thallus
|
|
Mushrooms
|
is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota
|
|
Shelf Fungi
|
are fungi, in the phylum Basidiomycota. They produce shelf- or bracket-shaped fruiting bodies (conks) that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows.
|
|
Gametangia
|
is an organ or cell in which gametes are produced that is found in many multicellular protists, algae, fungi, and the gametophytes of plants. In contrast to gametogenesis in animals, a gametangium is a haploid structure and formation of gametes does not involve meiosis
|
|
germinating Zygospore
|
the process whereby growth emerges from a period of dormancy;growth of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination
|
|
Coprinus
|
The genus Coprinus is a small genus of mushrooms consisting of Coprinus comatus (the shaggy mane) and several of its close relatives
|
|
Club Fungi (Basidiomycota)
|
More specifically the Basidiomycota include mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts
|
|
Rhizoid
|
In fungi, rhizoids are small branching hyphae that grow downwards from the stolons that anchor the fungus
|
|
Zygospore
|
zygospore is a reproductive part of a fungus, a chlamydospore that is created by the nuclear fusion of haploid hyphae of different mating types.
