FUNGI
  1. Eukaryotic Microbe/ True fungi
    1. Dispersed by wind, water and animals
      1. Saprophytes. Multicellular and multinucleated except for yeast which is unicellular
        1. No chlorophyll. Have rigid cell wall which is chitin
          1. Primary storage is glycogen. Reproduce sexually and asexually.
            1. Hyphae - long branched threadlike filaments
              1. Mass of hyphae is mycelia. Hyphae network through wood, soil and cheese.
              2. Three types of feeding form which is saprobic(feed on dead matter) , parasitic( feed on living host) and mutualistic heterotrophs( feed on living host, both host and fungus benefits)
                1. Anamorphs
                  1. Teleomorphic - produces sexual and asexual spores
                    1. Anamorphic fungi - produces asexual spores only.
                    2. Asexual reproduction- Parent cell undergo mitosis to form daughter cells.
                      1. Mitosis in vegetative cells may be concurrent with budding to produce a daughter cell
                      2. Sexual reproduction - involves fusion of compatible nuclei
                        1. Homothallic: Sexually compatible gametes are formed on the same mycellium and self fertilizing
                          1. Heterothallic: Outcrossing between different, yet compatible mycelia
                          2. Three types of sexual spores
                            1. Zygospore - large spore enclosed in thick wall
                              1. Ascospore - produced in a sac like structure called ascus
                              2. Basidiospore- formed externally at base of basidium
                              3. Life cycle of fungi
                                1. Types of fungi
