1. Good Afternoon!! Take out your laptop and Open Fungi Cornell Notes… I’m coming around to check that you have attempted it.

2. There is Fungus Among Us…
Fungus = 1 (singular)
Fungi = 2 or more (plural)

3. Different Kinds of Fungi
Mushrooms
Molds
Yeasts
Mildew
Rusts
Smuts
Multicelluar fungi are called molds or mushrooms.
Single-celled fungi are called yeasts.
Eukaryotes!!

5. How they obtain energy…
Fungi are heterotrophs.
Some fungi are parasites.
Decomposers- Break down dead/decaying materials outside their bodies.
All types of fungus have similar characteristics.

6. Fermentation
Process used to make bread rise, brew beer/wine, make some cheese and soy sauce
Yeast break down sugars in warm environment creating carbon dioxide, alcohol, and some energy.

7. Characteristics of Most Fungi
1. Cap/Reproductive body- top part, protects the spores, makes up the part of a fungus that can be seen (ex. Mushroom Cap) 2. Spore- a single reproductive cell that is capable of growing into a new organism, fall from Cap 3. Stalk- holds up the Reproductive Body 4. Mycelium- a mass of hyphae, makes up most of the fungi 5. Hyphae- a network of cells that form threadlike structures; make up most fungi

9. Cap
Stalk

10. How do Fungi Reproduce?
Most Fungi reproduce asexually, but sometimes can reproduce sexually.
Yeasts- Budding
Mushrooms/Molds- Spores or Hyphae
Spores are single reproductive cells capable of producing new offspring.

11. 3 types- can harm or help humans
Mushrooms
Made of mycellium and a cap (reproductive body).
Some can be poisonous, but some can be eaten.
Molds
Fuzzy spore producing fungi.
Can be helpful in making food or can cause disease/food spoilage.
Yeasts
Single celled fungi that grow in moist places.
Helpful- bread making, Harmful- can cause disease.

12. A couple more examples….
Lichen- symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae.
Penicillin- antibiotic that is made from fungus
Athlete’s foot- fungal mold
Some molds help make cheese or soy sauce.
Toadstool= poisonous mushrooms
Button mushrooms, Shitake= edible

13. Exit Slip How is a fungi different than a bacteria? How is similar?
2. What are 3 different kinds of fungi?
3. What is the largest part of a fungi?
4. What are the two parts of a scientific name?
5. Why do organisms need a scientific name?
6. Why would you use a Dichotomous Key?
7. How are protists grouped?
