Fungi Flashcards
Fungal filaments
Hyphae
A mass of fungal filaments
Mycelium
Spore-producing structure for fungi. May be composed of dikaryotic (n+n) hyphae
Fruiting not body
Cell process of fungal parasite that penetrates living cells of host
Haustorium
The “sac” fungi that are characterized by asci (sacs) in which ascospores are formed
Ascomycota
Sac-like structure that is the site of karyogamy and eventual meiosis to produce ascospores
Ascus
Spores produced in an ascus
Ascospores
Common name for the ascomycota
Sac fungi
Asexual spores produced by ascomycota
Conidia
Conidia-bearing filament in ascomycota
Conidiophore
The club fungi that are characterized by basidia (club-shaped cells) on which basidiospores are produced
Basidiomycota
Club-shaped cell that is the site of karyogamy and eventual meiosis to basidiospores
Basidium
Spores produced on a basidium
Basidiospore
Common name for the basidiomycota
Club fungi
The dikaryon produced following plasmogamy of (+) and (-) mating type filaments of basidiomycota or ascomycota
N+N
