Filamentous and yeast growth forms bath tub to be pink]: agaricomycotina (mushrooms, jelly fungi, basdio-yeasts [roseola that causes, pucciniomycotina (rusts and some yeast, ustilaginomycotina (the smuts) The agaricomycotina: mushrooms, toadstools, jelly and related fungi. Icicle fungus (found in fall in ontario on logs) Example of what mushroom is like in real life. Kind of like an iceberg where what you see (fruiting body) is just the top while the main body of fungus is below ground (mycelium) Bright green area where there are no mushrooms and dead grass where mushrooms are. As hyphae grow outwards leave dead patch in the middle. Hyphae absorb nutrients and concentrate them in certain places causing grass to be deeper green where fungus is. Depletes nutrients from other places (the middle of the ring) causing grass to die.
