| mycology |
study of fungi |

fungal disease |
| thallus |

| mycelium |
loosely organized mass of threadlike structures called hyphae |
| fungi cycle |

| 2 forms of fungi nutrition |
saprophytic & parasitic |
| saprophytic |
dead/decaying matter |
| parasitic |
living matter |
| fungi reproduction |
asexual & sexual |
| asexual reproduction |
mitotic cell division |
| sexual reproduction |
plasmogamy & karyogamy |
| plasmogamy |
2 gametes show fusion of cytoplasm, produces dikaryotic cell if nuclei fail to unite |
| Karyogamy |
when 2 nuclei fuse, produces a zygote |
| 3 major groups based on gross morphology |
molds, yeasts, mushrooms, |
| molds |
filamentous hayphae, multicellular |
| yeasts |
unicellular w/blastospores(buds) |
| mushrooms |
multicellular 3-D |
| 4 major phylums (classes of fungi) |
zygomycota, ascomycota, basidiomycota, deuteromycota |
| deuteromycota |
