Index to this page Characteristics Mycorrhizal fungi Zygomycetes Ascomycetes ... Lichens Fungi Approximately 100,000 species of fungi have been identified. Characteristics of Fungi Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae . An interwoven mass of hyphae is called a mycelium The walls of hyphae are often strengthened with chitin , a polymer of N -acetylglucosamine The linkage between the sugars is like that of cellulose and peptidoglycan and produces the same sort of structural rigidity. Fungi are heterotrophic Some live as saprophytes , getting their nourishment from the surroundings (often having first digested it by secreting enzymes ). They perform a crucial role in nature by decomposing dead organisms are releasing their nutrients for reuse by the living. Some live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with another organism, often a plant. The association of fungus and root is called a mycorrhiza The fungus benefits by the sugars translocated to the root by the plant. Mycorrhizal fungi may also form conduits for nutrients between plant species. The colorless, and hence

Pathogenic Fungi Aims and Objectives After completion of this session the student should be able to: Describe the basic physical characteristics and reproduction of fungi. Name the fungi of medical importance. Describe the diseases associated with fungi of medical importance. Describe the basic methods used to diagnose fungal infections. Describe the mechanisms of action of the common antifungal drugs. General Characteristics Fungi include moulds, yeasts and higher fungi. All fungi are eukaryotic and have sterols but not peptidoglycan in their cell membrane. They are chemoheterotrophs (requiring organic nutrition) and most are aerobic. Many fungi are also saprophytes (living off dead organic matter) in soil and water and acquire their food by absorption. Characteristically they also produce sexual and asexual spores. There are over 100,000 species recognised, with 100 infectious agents of man. Moulds are composed of numerous, microscopic, branching hyphae known collectively as a mycelium. Growth occurs from the apical tip, the apical vesicles contain materials and enzymes for the formation of new hyphal wall. Older hyphae are less biochemically active and contain many

The Kombucha Mushroom: Elixir Of Life Fungal Galls: Causing Strange Plant Growths ... Lichens: Nature's Perfect Marriage Introduction D uring my career as a biology professor at Palomar College I have probably had more questions about fungi than any other plant group. Often it is someone calling on the telephone about a strange blob that has suddenly appeared in their backyardand they are wondering if it is edible, poisonous, or does it pose any threat to their family or house. Because of the difficulty in identifying strange fungi by a lay person, I usually do not recommend trying them in your favorite culinary recipe. [WPA, 12 Jan. 1996] Yellow parasol mushrooms ( Lepiota lutea O f all the five major kingdoms of living organisms on earth, the fungi certainly contain some of the most bizarre and fascinating species. Mycology is the study of fungi, and much of the current research in this field is at the molecular level. For example, molecular mycologists are trying to piece together the very complex interrelationships between fungal taxa using comparative DNA sequencing. You have probably heard about some of these modern techniques (PCR and RFLP) if you followed the infamous O.J. Simpson Trial. There are about 100,000 known species of mushrooms, rusts, molds, mildews, stinkhorns, puffballs, truffles and other organisms assigned to the Kingdom Fungi, and hundreds of new species are described each year. They come in an astonishing variety of shapes, colors and sizes, from brilliant red cups and orange jellylike masses to strange fungi resembling golfballs, bird nests with eggs, starfish, parasols and even male genitalia (see next paragraph).

Kingdom Fungi Domain Eukarya Kingdom Fungi Use the imagemap of the phylogenetic tree to navigate through the kingdom The reproductive cycle of the Fungi kingdom Kingdom Fungi comprises the fungi, such as mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, eukaryotic heterotrophs that digest food outside of their bodies. Most fungi are multicellular, but some, the yeasts, are simple unicellular organisms probably evolved from multicellular ancestors. Fungi are present all over the world, in marine as well as terrestrial environments. Many fungi have symbiotic relationships with plants known as mycorrhizae; in fact, it was as mycorrhizal partners of plants that fungi probably first moved onto land. Most fungi are decomposers, breaking dead organisms down into detritus and returning inorganic nutrients to the ecosystem. As such, fungi are also extremely adaptable, and can break down many substances, including some toxic pollutants. This adaptability also accounts for the presence of fungi in many very different environments around the world. A fungal organism consists of a mass of threadlike filaments called hyphae, which combine to make up the fungal mycelium. Each hypha is composed of a chain of fungal cells, or, in some organisms, a continuous cytoplasm with many nuclei. The hypha is surrounded by a plasma membrane and a cell wall, which is made of the polysaccharide chitin, in contrast to plant cell walls made of cellulose. The hyphae in a fungus branch off of one another to form the mycelium, and are all ultimately connected to the original hypha. Though fungal cells and hyphae are nonmotile, and never have flagellated cells of any kind, a fungal mycelium can expand quickly through very rapid mitotic growth, adding up to a kilometer of new hyphae per day. For large underground mycelia, fruiting bodies grow above ground, such as the mushroom, which is only an extension of an underground mycelium. These fruiting bodies are the reproductive structures of the mycelium.
