Document Summary
Ex: mushroom part that we see above ground is actually a reproductive structure. Slime molds are not fungi, they are amoebozoans. Basal lineage in fungi is called microsporidia. Microsporidia were known not to have mitochondria. Because of this, they were thought to be some single celled prokaryotes that never underwent endosymbiosis. Microsporidia probably had mitochondria in the past but adopted a parasitic life structure. 5)basidiomycota elaborate fruiting body (basidiocarp) containing many basidia that produce sexula spores (basidiospores) Fungi go back at least half a billion years. Evolution of land plants is probably tied in with a fungal symbiosis. Great chemical potential to break down material also heterotrophic. Mycelium are webby white strands of a fungus (basically a fungus" roots) When it grows, we call mycelium mold . Septa have cores that allow streaming for very small objects, including organelles and nuclei. Multinucleate hyphae (many nuclei streaming in a cell) Gills on under surface of mushroom cap are spores.
