Characteristics of Fungi
► Eukaryotic► Nonphotosynthetic ( heterotrophic)► Most are multicellular► Microscopic (yeasts)► Growth best in warm, moist environments
The study fungi is known as MYCOLOGY

Structure of Fungi
► Filaments of fungi are called hyphae
► The cell walls contain chitin
► The MYCELIUM is a mat of hyphae
► Store food energy as glycogen

Feeding
Heterotrophy - 'other food' Saprophytes or saprobes - feed on dead tissues
or organic waste (decomposers) Symbionts - mutually beneficial relationship
between a fungus and another organism Parasites - feeding on living tissue of a host Parasites that cause disease are called pathogens

Reproduction► Most fungi reproduce both sexually and asexuallyAsexual reproduction – production of various types of
spores (When environmental conditions are favorable) Sporangiophores- upright stalk with an enclosed sac Conidia - upright stalk with no enclosed sac (penicillin)

Fragmentation – hyphae dry out and shatter releasing individual cells that act like spores (athlete’s foot)
Budding – small offspring

► Sexual reproduction Used when environment conditions are poor (lack of
nutrients) No male or female fungi “plus and minus” mating types Haploid 1n hyphae from 2 mating types (+ and -) FUSE
(Fertilization) Forms a hyphae with 2 nuclei that becomes a ZYGOTE
++ --The zygote divides to make a SPORE

Mycorrhizae
“Fungus roots” Mutualism between:-Fungus (nutrient & water
uptake for plant)
-Plant (carbohydrate for fungus)

Fungi decompose dead plant and animal matter
► Called saprophytes, they act as recyclers of dead organic matter, obtaining food from this material
► Hyphal tips release enzymes that eventually decompose and release organic materials into the surrounding environment

Fungi and Humans
► Many people have allergies triggered by mold► Fungal skin infections – skin, nails and hair
Athlete’s foot

Fungi in Industry
► Fungi produce many products used in the medical field such as penicillin, cephalosporin antibotics, cortisone
► Yeast are known for making breads rise

Fungi in the Food Industry
Mushrooms are widely consumed by humans

Fungi are Plant Pathogens
► Many fungi attack grain or fruit

Fungi form beneficial partnerships (symbiosis) with other organisms
Lichen – symbiotic relationship between
algae and fungi
