Document Summary
Mycorrhiza- a symbiosis between fungi and plant roots: from the greek mykes means fungs rhiza means root and symbiosis means living together. Fungus of the day: schizophyllum commune, the split gill fungus, perhaps the worlds most widespread fungus, possessor of over 28,000 sexes (300 as and 90bs), white rotter, only mushroom that can dry out and can be rehydrated. This is the reason it makes the most common fungus. Turkey tail: very common and can be found all year long, saphrophyte on decaying wood. Getting into the host can be active or passive. Successful pathogens must suppress evade and tolerate resistance and defense responses. Resistance mechanisms: preformed vs. induced, active vs. In order to do this they are very diverse chemically. They release enzymes to break down these large molecules, that make them easier to absorb: candida- already in our intestines and on our skin, so the infection rate is essentially.
