Phylum: ZygomycotaZygomycota
Phylum: ZygomycotaZygomycota
• Common name: Spore fungi
• Habitat: land/aquatic/host organisms
• Nutrition: Heterotrophic (parasitic and saprophytic)
Phylum: ZygomycotaZygomycota
• Special structures: Spores in caps (sporangia)
• Reproduction: spores, zygospores
• Economic/Biological Importance: decomposers, cause of potato blight
• Examples: Rhizopus stolonifer (bread
mold)
Phylum: BasidiomycotaBasidiomycota
Phylum: BasidiomycotaBasidiomycota
• Common name: Club fungi
• Habitat: land/host organisms
• Nutrition: Heterotrophic (parasitic and saprophytic)
Phylum: BasidiomycotaBasidiomycota
• Special structures: Spores in basidia (club-like structures on gills of mushroom)
• Reproduction: spores• Economic/Biological Importance: food
(edible mushrooms, parasites on grain crops like wheat, oats, rye)
• Examples: Amanita phalloides (death cap) poisonous mushroom
Phylum: AscomycotaAscomycota
Phylum AscomycotaAscomycota
• Common name: Sac/Cup fungi
• Habitat: land/aquatic/host organisms
• Nutrition: Heterotrophic (parasitic and saprophytic)
AscomycotaAscomycota
• Special structures: Spores in ascus (sac-like structures)
• Reproduction: spores/budding• Economic/Biological Importance:
making cheese, baking and brewing, causes athlete’s foot and ringworm
• Examples: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bread yeast)
MycophycotaMycophycota
• Common name: Lichen
• Habitat: land/aquatic/host organisms
• Nutrition: Autotrophic/Heterotrophic
Lichens: Phylum MycophycotaLichens: Phylum MycophycotaFruticose
(fruit)Crustose
(crusty)
Foliose
(foliage. leaf-like)
MycophycotaMycophycota• Special structures: “Dual” organism
made of fungifungi (heterotroph-provides water and
minerals) and algaealgae (autotroph-makes food)
• Reproduction: spores/binary fission
• Economic/Biological Importance: first organism on bare rock; helps to start soil; food for reindeer
• Examples: Cladonia cristatella
Kingdom Fungi – VocabularyKingdom Fungi – Vocabulary
hyphae: thin filaments of tube-shaped mass of cytoplasm with many nuclei
mycelium: a mat of filaments composed of a mass of hyphae
rhizoids: root-like organ of certain fungi; help to break down food into simpler substances
Kingdom Fungi – VocabularyKingdom Fungi – Vocabulary
basidia: a club-like structure that forms the sexual spores in certain fungi
ascus: saclike structure that produces sexual spores by meiosis
spore: reproductive cell capable of developing into new haploid organisms without fusing with another cell
