• 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.
• The unicellular yeasts reproduce only mitotically, while other fungi, such as mushrooms, have much more complex life cycles involving three distinct phases. ...
• One-third of all species of fungi are mutualists, either as mycorrhizae or lichens. Mycorrhizal fungi live on the roots of plants and provide inorganic nutrients, and often resistance to some pathogens, to the plants in exchange for organic sugars. The first colonization of land by plants was facilitated, if not made possible by, the ability of mycorrhizal fungi to uptake nutrients from hostile soil. The lichens are fungi living in symbiotic relationships with algae or cyanobacteria. ... Lichens can reproduce asexually when small reproductive units, consisting of both fungi and algae or bacteria, break of from the lichen and are carried by the wind to other locations; they can also reproduce sexually through independent sexual reproduction of both parts and a reattachment. ...

• Lack of Chlorophyll profoundly affects the lifestyle of fungi: .

• What Are Fungi?.
• Macrofungi are those fungi forming visible fruiting bodies, such as mushrooms, puffballs, and brackets. ... Lichens (fungi symbiotic with algae) and the microfungi that do not form large fruiting bodies (or lack them), such as yeasts, molds, powdery mildews, rusts, and soil fungi, are not included on vPlants. ...
• Fungi were once treated as plants but botanists now consider them to make up a separate Kingdom Fungi. ... Like animals, and unlike plants, all fungi are consumers or scavengers that obtain food from other living or dead organisms. Fungi, though often unseen, provide critical roles as decomposers, pathogens, and mutualists. ... Mutualists (beneficial symbionts) form beneficial partnerships with other organisms; notable among these are the lichens that are associated with algae, and the mycorrhizal fungi that support plant growth by associating with roots. Boletes and chanterelles with oak and pine, and microfungi with many terrestrial plants are good examples of mycorrhizal fungi. ...
• Other fungi found in vPlants, such as morels and cup fungi, are of the Phylum Ascomycota (Class Euascomycetes). ...

• Fungus (plural, fungi) belongs to a complex biological Kingdom as the same biological rank as plants or animals, and has been studied since earlier times in a separate science field, mycology. ...

• The Fungus Kingdom: Sac Fungi.
• The Sac Fungi (Ascomycota) are a diverse group. Most of these fungi do not produce substantial mushrooms; even fewer produce mushrooms worth eating. ...
• Sac fungi produce spores inside cases (asci) which may open at one end. ...
• Another prominent group of Ascomycota is the Cup Fungi, so named for a macroscopic rather than microscopic feature. These fungi are in the same order as Morels (Pezizales) but look quite different. ...
• The mushrooms of these fungi look like little cups or sacs and often do not have a stalk at all. ...
• Candlesnuff Fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon, left) is in a group of mushrooms called Flask Fungi because of the shape of their asci, not because of their macroscopic shape. ...

• This goal of this site is to provide a web-based resource of information on zoosporic fungi, an informal group which includes chytrids, oomycetes, labyrinthulids, and various other protists. Here you will find links to a glossary defining terms commonly used with zoosporic fungi, a photogallery with pictures of the organisms, and a guide on how to isolate and maintain these organisms in culture. There are also links to recent publications on zoosporic fungi, jobs, and links to other sites. Below is a list of the organisms that fall into the zoosporic fungi catagory. ...

• of fungi within three major taxa. ...
• Zygomycota- These fungi have no septa between adjacent cells (aseptate). ... This taxon is considered to be the most primitive group of fungi; the bread mold, Rhizopus, is an example. ...
• Ascomycota- This group includes such forms as cup fungi, yeasts used in brewing (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), pathogenic yeasts (Candida), the causative agent of Dutch Elm Disease, truffles, morels, and many fungal "hosts" associated with algae to form lichens. ...
• Deuteromycota- Another group of fungi, sometimes called Fungi Imperfecti, contains fungi for which no sexual stage is yet known. ...
• Decomposition- The metabolism of saprophytic fungi and bacteria decomposes complex organic molecules such as polysaccharides and proteins into simple inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide, nitrate, and other materials that plants can assimilate as raw materials for photosynthesis. ... Fungi are among the only forms which can break down lignin (a polypeptide found in wood). Unfortunately (for humans), fungi do not discriminate between naturally occurring materials and natural resources being used by humans. Hence, a dead oak tree can be decomposed by fungi about as readily as untreated wood in furniture, walls, floors, etc. ... It should also be noted that fungi are very tolerant of high osmotic pressure. ... For example, most have us have opened jars of refrigerated jelly only to find that fungi also "have a sweet tooth".

• Fungi.
• Key characters: reduced feeding, lethargy; dead insects swell, and may be covered with fungi .
• Some insect species, including many pests, are particularly susceptible to infection by naturally occurring, insect-pathogenic fungi. These fungi are very specific to insects, often to particular species, and do not infect animals or plants. Fungal growth is favored by moist conditions but fungi also have resistant stages that maintain infection potential under dry conditions. Fungi have considerable epizootic potential and can spread quickly through an insect population and cause its collapse. Because fungi penetrate the insect body, they can infect sucking insects such as aphids and whiteflies that are not susceptible to bacteria and viruses.
• Some fungi, such as the Entomophthora and related species, are fairly specific with regard to the groups of insects affected; others, such as Beauveria, have a wider host range.
• Fungi invade insects by penetrating their cuticle or "skin. ...
• Insect-pathogenic fungi usually need moisture to enable infection, and natural epizootics are most common during wet or humid conditions. The effectiveness of these fungi against pest insects depends on having the correct fungal species and strain with the susceptible insect life stage, at the appropriate humidity, soil texture (to reach ground-dwelling pest species), and temperature. ...
• Many insect-pathogenic fungi occur in the soil. There is evidence that application of some soil insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides can inhibit or kill these fungi. ...
• Some Common Insect-Pathogenic Fungi.
• Other species of insect-pathogenic fungi have been tested as microbial insecticides for the control of pests. ...
