Characteristics of the Fungi Kingdom Most Multicellular Heterotrophic Reproduce Sexually and Asexually Cell Walls Made of Chitin
Fungi have eurkaryotic cells (containing a nucleus) and are heterotrophic (must obtain their own nutrients by consuming other organisms). Mushrooms and other fungi absorb nutrients from dead, decaying plant matter. This feeding process is known as decomposition and is classified as being a type of heterotroph.
KINGDOM: FUNGUS : Typical Structure A. Cap B. Gills C. Stalk D.Hyphae
Nutrition Extracellular Digestion Roles in the Environment Decomposer Parasite Mutualist (lichen)
Reproduction Asexual Sexual Fragmentation Budding Spores Above picture of Yeast Cells Reproducing
PHYLUM: Zygomycetes Sexual spores are thick-walled Example: Rhizopus stolonifer Haploid spores are produced from sporangium.
Ascomycetes Ascospores (sexual) Conidiospores (asexual) Examples: Morels Food molds Ringworm Yeast
Basidiomycetes Basidiospores (sexual) club-shaped Examples Common Mushrooms Puffballs Stinkhorns Bracket Fungi
Deuteromycetes Imperfect Fungi Asexual Reproduction ONLY! Examples: Penicillium Conidia
