opistikont
supergroup closest to animals and fungi
hyphae
fungal filaments
mycelium
network/mat of hyphae
chitin
cell walls of fungi, support and protection
nutrition of fungi
absorptive chemoheterotrophs chemicals for carbon, organic material for other nutrients
coenocytic
no septa dividing hyphae
septate
hyphal cells separated by septums
plasmogamy
cytoplasm fusion
karyogamy
haploid nuclear fusion
how do fungi reproduce asexually
fragmentation, budding (yeasts), asexual spores (mold)
opisthosporidia
cryptomycetes (water, no chitin, parasite), and microsporidians (non flagellated, chitin rich resistant spores)
chytrids
aquatic fungi, flagellated asexxual spores
zoopagomycetes
coenocytic hyphae, asexual nonflagellated spores, form zygosporangium in poor conditions
mucoromycetes
asexual repro through haploid spores, sexual through zygosporangia
dikarya
septate, dikaryotic hyphae
ascomycetes
sacs within ascocarps (morel)
basidiocarp
club-shaped, GILLS
endophytes
mutualistic in intercellular plant tissue
mycorrhizae
mutualistic relationship between roots and fungi
