Chapter 3b Zygomycota Illustrated outline of the classification of the Zygomycota, with 26 pictures and explanatory text. http://www.mycolog.com/CHAP3b.htm
Extractions: Introduction The second eumycotan phylum is the Zygomycota . This phylum contains two classes, class Zygomycetes and class Trichomycetes . Since most Trichomycetes are parasites or commensals inside the guts of living arthropods, they are only a footnote, albeit a fascinating one, to this chapter. Basic features Although the class Zygomycetes contains only about 1% of the known species of fungi, its members are distinctive, and some of them are common, successful, fast-growing, primary colonizers of substrates containing accessible carbon sources like sugar or starch. Others are specialized parasites. Zygosporangia The name of the class is derived from the way in which they reproduce sexually by the physical blending - fusion or conjugation - of morphologically similar gametangia to form a zygosporangium (the teleomorphic phase). 'Zygos' is Greek for a yoke or joining. The gametangia arise from hyphae of a single mycelium in homothallic species, or from different but sexually compatible mycelia in heterothallic species. Zygosporangia usually develop thick walls, and act as resting spores.

Extractions: FUNGI INDEX HOME Notebook Plants Fungi What's New? Shot of the Week Hikes Drives ... Book References FUNGI I know, I know... to many people fungi are not nearly as interesting as the flowers, but because of the moisture around these mountains, there's a great abundance of these fascinating things. Plus, think of them this way: They comprise a greater biomass of the forest you walk thru. While these vegetation decomposers are at work underfoot (and mostly are depended upon by rooty plants directly), the visible parts we see of the molds and fungus and mushrooms are, like flowers, just the sexy parts. (There are some excellent fungal websites , too) Since fungi identification is a tricky business, i'm going to break them down only by major category rather than by species. That way i can be sure i'm not making gross errors. See, i'm not very knowledgeable about these things. Gilled Mushrooms - The general group when we think of mushrooms; please do not read this as 'grilled mushrooms.' Also, don't think of them as breathing underwater. It means that underneath their cap are slits that release their spores (seeds).

Persimmon General Information Persimmon information including description, varieties, planting practices, and a list of fungi and insects affecting the tree. http://www.extento.hawaii.edu/kbase/crop/crops/i_persim.htm
Extractions: Persimmon is a dioecious, deciduous tree growing to 25 ft (7.6 m) high. It has ovate or obovate leaves, 3 in. to 7 in. (7.6-17.8 cm) long that are shiny on top and pubescent beneath. The leaves are borne on pubescent branchlets. Persimmon flowers are yellowish white and 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) long. Staminate (male) flowers have 16 to 24 stamens, while pistillate (female) flowers have eight staminodes. The fruit is classified as a a juicy berry. It is 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) in diameter and variable in shape, with a pale yellow, orange, or red exterior, and with orange flesh. There is an enlarged persistent calyx at its base. Fruits are usually set in clusters.

Extractions: Fungi are no plants. They can, just like plants (Plantae) and animals (Animalia), be classified as an original kingdom, that has, like the other two, developed from eucaryotic, single-celled protists (kingdom: Protista). Plants and most fungi share no common homologous structures besides those already conserved at the level of protists. These are: the existence of nuclei, the condensation of DNA with the help of histones, and the presence of actin and tubuline (and thus also of amoeboid movements of cells and of flagellar movements). These kingdoms do nevertheless share analogies ( convergences, parallel developments ) that are often and wrongly cited as proofs for the relationship of plants and fungi. Three similarities are especially often referred to: Both plant and fungal cells are enclosed by a cell wall while animal cells have no such characteristic. This is true, and cell walls exist in prokaryotes (bacteria, blue-green algae), too. The walls of all three mentioned kingdoms have, nevertheless, different molecular compositions (they contain different molecular classes), their biosynthetic pathways and the way of their cellular growths are different. They are therefore not homologous.

Basidiomycetes A clearing house for research information about the basidiomycete fungi. Includes a list of laboratories focused on the basidiomycota, lists of basidiomycete species, conferences and other events, and an index of available genomic information. http://www.basidiomycetes.org/
Extractions: The phylum basidiomycota consists of fungi that produce spores that are formed outside a pedestal-like structure, the basidium. The members of this phylum, known as basidiomycetes, include all the fungi with gills or pores, including the familiar mushrooms and bracket fungi. In addition to the commercial and culinary importance of edible basidiomycetes such as Agaricus bisporus, the common "pizza" mushroom, and Lentinula edodes , the Shiitake mushroom, basidiomycetes are important as plant and human pathogens. Cryptococcus neoformans is a human pathogen of considerable importance, especially in individuals with AIDS or other conditions that reduce the effectiveness of the immune response. Ustilago maydis or corn smut is a significant agricultural pathogen. The genomes of two model organisms in the group, Coprinus cinereus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium have been sequenced and are in the process of annotation. See the genome link below for the status of these and other basidiomycete genome projects, and links to sites with data.
