Conidia
asexual spore produce in an Ascomycota.
Ascus
Tiny sack in which fungal spores develop .
Basidium
Specialized reproductive structure in basidiomycotes
Basidiospores
Spore is basidiomycetes that germinates to produce haploid primary mycelia .
Conidiophores
Specialized hyphae that produce asexual spores in Ascomycota .
Fungi
All Eukaryotic heterophs mostly saprophytes with some being parasitic .
Mycelium
Thick mass of tangled filaments that make up the body of a fungus .
Hyphae
Filament that make a fungus .
Sporangia
Structure in ferns some protists and some fungi that contain spores .
Sporangiophores
A specialized hypha bearing sporangia .
Gametangium
gamete-forming structure produced when hyphae off opposing mating types of fungi meet .
Zygospore
In Fungi thick-walled zygote formed during sexual reproduction in zygomycetes’ in green algae diploid cells .
Rhizoids
In Fungi small branching hypha growing downward from stolon that anchor the fungus released digestive enzymes and digest organic material .
Stolon
Stemlike hypha that grows parallel to fungus growing medium .
Lichens
Symbiotic partnership between a fungus and photosynthetic organism .
Ascospores
haploid spore produced with the ascus of Ascomycot/\
