FUNGI

FAMELIA D S4D
 CHARACTERISTIC OF FUNGI

FUNGI CAN BE :
• Multi Cellular
- Plant looking
- Mushroom, and bread molds

• Single cell
- Yeast
- Usually found in soil, on plants, and human

Yeast Bread molds Mushroom

 Features of Fungi

Cell walls
01
Made of chitin, same stuff that makes insects’ exoskeleton.

Hyphae
02 Thin filaments making up the fungus, long, thread-like chains of cells, and grow at the tips
and branch

Cross-walls
03 septum - the wall that divides cells (internal cross-
walls)
 REPRODUCTION OF FUNGI

kinds of fungi reproduction:

– Budding
– Fragmentation
– Spore production
 PHYLA OF FUNGI

CONSIST OF :
• Chytridiomycota - Chytrids
• Zygomycota – Common Molds
• Ascomycota – Sac Fungi
• Basidiomycota – Club Fungi
• Deuteromycota – Imperfect Fungi
Ascomycota

Basidiomycota

Zygomycota

Chytridiomycota Deuteromycota
PHYLUM Chytridiomycota

• Mostly marine
• Mostly saprophytes (lives on dead
or decaying organic matter)
• Have flagellated spores
 Phylum Zygomycota
• Mostly terrestrial.
• Two types of hyphae:

– Stolons – (horizontal) spread

across the surface
– Rhizoids – (vertical) digs into the
surface

Bread molds
 Phylum Ascomycota (Sac Fungi)

• Most are multicellular (except for yeast)

• Most undergo asexual reproduction
• Largest phylum of Fungi
Ascocarp Morels

Orange Cup
 Phylum Basidiomycota (Club Fungi)

• have fruiting club-shaped

bodies
• Most are edible mushrooms

• reproductive structures called

basidia
• Include mushrooms, puffballs,
and shelf fungi

Shelf fungi

Puffballs
 Phylum Deuteromycota
• Undergo sexual reproduction
• Imperfect fungi
• Don’t fit into the common established taxonomic classification
• No sexual structures
• Multicellular tissue is similar to the hyphae of sac fungi and
club fungi
• Erect hyphae with asexual spores similar to sac fungi and club
fungi
