Closely related to animals: domain of botanists for greater than 100 years. Most hyphae are incompletely divided into separate cells * look at. Eating: whitish grey mat of filaments (hyphae, cell wall of chitin, absorptive heterotroph, external (digest outside the hyphae, common in decay (saprobe, less commonly a parasite picture. Mycelia: world"s largest fungus (organism?, 10 km^2, in oregon, demonstrated by mating types. Phylogeny of the fungi: chytridsiomycota, zygomycota, glomeromycota, ascomycota, basidiomycota. Thought to be protists but now are known to be fungi. Two hyphae of different mating types come together, you get two parts: plasmogamy: cell plasma comes together, karyogamy: nuclei come together. Have lost flagella because the gametes are not in water. Different mating types come together to two parts: plasmogamy then cell division* - dikaryotic mycellium, then karyogamy. Haploid hyphae can also reproduce asexually (most of the time) making conidia. Instead of cups, they have gills (different than ascomycetes)
