LIFE CYCLE OF

MUSHROOM

-RUBINA PARIYAR
 About Lifecycle
of Mushroom

Of the many spores produced by a

mushroom, only a tiny number
will land where they can
germinate – to produce hyphae.
Hyphae of different species may
grow in soil or in wood and may
later form a tiny mushroom
button. This then grows, and the
stalk and cap expand to become a
mushroom.

 Structure of Mushroom
• The fruiting body may contain a
cap, stalk, ring, volva, and gills.
The cap normally houses the spore
producing surface of the fruiting
body. In the case of the Amanita,
the spore-producing cells are in the
gills, but in other types of
mushrooms, spores are produced
in tubes or inside the cap.
 BASIDIA
The basidia is the
microscopic club-shaped
sporangium that are located
on the hymenophore of the
fruiting bodies of
basidiomycete fungi.
 BASIDIUM
Basidium, in fungi the organ
in the members of the phylum
Basidiomycota that bears
sexually reproduced bodies
called basidiospores.
 BASIDIOSPORE
A basidiospore is a reproductive
spore produced by
Basidiomycete fungi, a grouping
that includes mushrooms, shelf
fungi, rusts, and smuts.
Basidiospores typically each
contain one haploid nucleus that
is the product of meiosis, and
they are produced by
specialized fungal cells
called basidia.
 Mycelium
Mycelium is part of the fungi
kingdom and is the network of
threads, called hyphae, from
which mushrooms grow. Not all
mycelia fruit mushrooms,
depending on the environmental
conditions, but all mushrooms
come from mycelia. Mycelia are
most prevalent in fields, forests,
and heavily wooded areas.
 BASIDIOCARP
Basidiocarp, also called
basidioma, in fungi, a large
sporophore, or fruiting body, in
which sexually produced spores
are formed on the surface of
club-shaped structures
(basidia).
 IMPORTANCE OF MUSHROOM

2. Mushroom as source of vitamins.
3. Mushroom as source of minerals.
4. Mushroom as medicines.
