Intro to Homobasidiomycota & Heterobasidiomycota Flashcards
homobasidiomycota/Holobasidiomycota
no septae
one chamber
heterobasidiomycota/phragmobasidiomycota
contain septate
how are meiotic products distributed in the heterobasidiomycota?
distributed into indiv sections of the basidia
probasidia
site of karyogamy
metabasidia
site of meiosis
when does the septation of basidia occur?
meiosis
Stichobasidium
septations run parallel to basidium & perpendicular to the substrate
chiastobasidium
basidium divides across, septations in basidium are cross septations, parallel with the substrate
jelly fungi subphylum
dacrymycetes
tuning fork subphylum
dacrymycetes
what causes the tuning fork appearance of the tuning fork fungi?
2 spores per basidia form
what kind of basidia does Auriculariacea have?
chiastobasidium
what kind of basidia do smuts & rusts have?
chiastobasidium
what phylum used to be considered heterobasidia but are now homobasidia?
dacrymycetes
what kind of basidia does Coprinus have?
homobasidia
what kind of basidia does Limnoperdon have?
homobasidia
what kind of basidia can jelly fungi have?
stichobasidium, chiastobasidium or homobasidium/heterobasidium
apiculus
point at which basidiospore & sterigma are attached, apart of the tip of sterigma
hilum
a region where a part of the spore is attached to the sterigma
hilar scar
hilum modified as the apiculus is separated from the hilum
what orientation do basidiospores have on sterigma?
borne on an angle
sterigma
developments at the top of basidia where basidiospores sit, projections from the basidia through which there is an extrusion of protoplasm to produce basidiospores
where are basidiospores borne?
in pseudo tissue called the hymenium
what do hymenium contain?
basidia, cystidia & other sterile cells: cystidioles & paraphyses
where is the hymenium found on jelly fungi?
lies below the gelatinous mass & sterigma sticks out exposing the spores
chytridiomycota
will use spores & pollen as a food source, will form feeding structures, microscopic organisms
sclerotium
compact mass of hardened mycelia containing food reserves
will germinate & form a stroma
stroma
stalk with a spherical structure at the top with fruiting bodies
what are the 3 major non-agaric groups of the holobasidiomycetes?
dacrymycetales
agaricales & aphyllophorales
gastromycetes
aphyllophorales
include all the members of the homobasidiomycota that don’t form gills
