3. Kingdom Fungi
Chapter 21

4. Characteristics of the Fungi Kingdom
Most Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Reproduce Sexually and Asexually
Cell Walls Made of Chitin

5. Fungi have eurkaryotic cells (containing a nucleus) and are heterotrophic (must obtain their own nutrients by consuming other organisms).
Mushrooms and other fungi absorb nutrients from dead, decaying plant matter. This feeding process is known as decomposition and is classified as being a type of heterotroph.

6. KINGDOM: FUNGUS :
Typical Structure
A. Cap
B. Gills
C. Stalk
D.Hyphae

7. Nutrition Extracellular Digestion Roles in the Environment Decomposer
Parasite
Mutualist (lichen)

8. Reproduction Asexual Sexual Fragmentation Budding Spores
Above picture of Yeast Cells Reproducing

9. PHYLUM: Zygomycetes Sexual spores are thick-walled
Example: Rhizopus stolonifer
Haploid spores are produced from sporangium.

10. Ascomycetes Ascospores (sexual) Conidiospores (asexual) Examples:
Morels
Food molds
Ringworm
Yeast

11. Basidiomycetes Basidiospores (sexual) club-shaped Examples
Common Mushrooms
Puffballs
Stinkhorns
Bracket Fungi

12. Deuteromycetes Imperfect Fungi Asexual Reproduction ONLY! Examples:
Penicillium
Conidia
