Fungal cell walls = chitin.
Plant cell walls = cellulose.

Fungi absorb food.

3. Fungi are multicellular organisms, with the exception of yeasts.
hyphae
mycellium
fruiting body

4. Fungi come in many shapes and sizes.
Sac fungi form a reproductive sac, or ascus.
Yeasts = single-celled sac fungi.
Morels and truffles = multicellular sac fungi.

5. Bread molds are often found on spoiled food.
form zygospores during reproduction

6. Club fungi have fruiting bodies which are club-shaped.
reproductive structures called basidia
include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi

8. Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.
distinctive reproductive structures
