3. Fungi
Fungi are eukaryotes
They have cell walls
NO chlorophyll

4. Food for Fungi Fungi are heterotrophs
Must live on or near their food supply
Some fungi are decomposers
Others are parasites

5. Food for Fungi Some fungi live in mutualism with other organisms
What might this mean?
What is the relationship called between a plant and a fungus?

6. Hidden from View Hyphae are filaments made up of chains of cells
Mycelium is the mass of hyphae that forms the body of a fungus
But it is hidden underground

7. Making More Fungi
Like protists, reproduction in fungi can either be sexual or asexual

8. Making More Fungi Asexual Reproduction
Hyphae break apart and each piece becomes a new fungus
Spores can be released and grow into a new fungus where it lands
How might the spores get spread?

9. Making More Fungi Sexual Reproduction
Structures form to make sex cells
These cells combine with each other and form spores
These spores are released and spread into the air

10. Kinds of Fungi There are 4 main groups of fungi Threadlike Sac Club
Imperfect

11. Threadlike Fungi Most live in soil and are decomposers
Some are parasites

12. Threadlike Fungi Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction
Form spore cases called sporangia
Releases spores
Sexual Reproduction
Hypha from 1 organism joins with another

13. Sac Fungi Largest group Includes: Yeasts Powdery Mildews Truffles
Morels

14. Sac Fungi Reproduce both asexually and sexually
Mostly asexually
How do yeasts reproduce?
When sexual reproduction occurs, an ascus forms and produces spores.

15. Sac Fungi How are sac fungi helpful to humans?
How are they harmful to other organisms?

16. Club Fungi Club Fungi is the most familiar fungi
How long can club fungi grow?
What do the gills and basidia do for club fungi?

17. Non-mushroom Club
Include:
Bracket Fungi
Puffballs
Smuts
Rusts

18. Imperfect Fungi The left overs All reproduce asexually
Most are parasites
What is a helpful imperfect fungi?
What is a harmful imperfect fungi?

19. Lichens What is a lichen? How do lichens get food? Where do they live?
What do they need to survive?
