Classification of Fungi

2. Classification of Fungi (know chart on page 281)
classified according to their colonial structure and method of sexual reproduction
most common phyla (first three)
Zygomycota
Ascomycota
Basidiomycota
Deuteromycota (imperfect fungi)

3. Phylum Zygomycota representative organism sexual reproduction
Rhizopus (bread mold)
sexual reproduction
zygosporangia
asexual reproduction
sporangiophores

4. different mating types
Sexual Reproduction
different mating types
germinating zygotes
hyphae fusing
zygosporangium

5. Asexual Reproduction
sporangia
asexual spores
rhizoids in bread

6. Phylum Ascomycota “sac fungi” representative organisms Penicillium
powdery mildews
yeasts
sexual reproduction
produce ascospores in an ascus
asexual reproduction
conidiophores

7. different mating types
Sexual Reproduction
fruiting body
asci
different mating types
germination
ascospores
released ascospores

BJU PressArt, biology textbook, pp. 282
germination

9. Phylum Basidiomycota “club fungi” representative organisms mushrooms
puffballs
rusts
smuts
sexual reproduction
produce basidiospores on a basidium
asexual reproduction
not as common as other phyla

10. basidiospores
gills
basidium
basidiocarp

11. Perfect Fungi
“true fungi”
have a known method of sexual reproduction

12. Imperfect Fungi have no known method of sexual reproduction examples
ringworm
athlete’s foot

13. Lichens composed of an alga and a fungus formed by symbiosis
the relationship of two organisms living together
reproduce by soredia
three types
crustose
foliose
fruticose
