| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Mold | In Biology, A fungus that grows in the form of a tangled mass of filaments. |
| Yeast | A very small, unicellular fungus that fermants carbonhydrates into alcohol and carbon dioxide |
| Mycolgy | The study of fungi |
| Hypha | A nonreproductive filament of a fungus |
| Chitin | A carbonhydrate that forms part of the exoskeleton of arthropods and other organisms, such as insects, curstaceans, fungi, and some algae. |
| Mycelium | The mass of fungal filaments, or hypae, that forms the body of a fungus |
| Septum | A divided wall, or partition, such as the wall between adjacent cells in a fungal hypha, the internal wall between adjacents segments of an annelid, and the thick well between the right and left chambers of the heart. |
| Coenocyte | Describes filaments that do not have cell walls |
| Dimorphism | The ability of some organsims, such as fungi, to exist in two forms |
| Sporangiophore | A plant or fungal structure that bears a sporangium or spores. |
| Sporangium | A specialized sac, case, capsule, or other structure that produces spores |
| Sporangiospore | A plant or fungal structure that bears a sporangium or spores. |
| Conidium | An asexual spore produced in certain fungi |
| Conidiophore ha | A type of hypha that bears asexual spores called conidia |
| Fragmentation | In Fungi, A reproductive process in which sepate hypha dry and shatter and individual cells that act as spores are released. |
| Budding | Asexual reproduction in which a part of the parnet organism pinches off and forms a new organism |
| Rhiziod | A rootlike structure in nonvascular, plants, such as mosses or liveworts, that holds that plants in place and aids in absorption |
| Stolon | In plants, a creeping stem that can develop roots and shoots at its nodes or at its tip to form new individuals; the creeping hypha of some fungi that gives to rise to new individuals |
| Gametangium | A cell or organ that produces gametes. |
| Zygosporangium | In members of the phylu, Zygomycota, a sexual structure that is formed by the fusion of two gametangia and that contains one or more zygotes that resulted from the fusion of gametes produced by the gametangia |
| Basidium | A structure that produces asexual spores in basidiomycetes. |
| Basidiospore | An asexual spore formed by a basidium |
| Basidiocarp | The part of a basidiomycete that produces spores |
| Ascogonium | The female sexual organ or cell in ascomycetes |
| Antheridum | A reproductive structure that produces male sex cells in flowerless and seedless plants |
| Asocarp | The reproductive portion of an ascomycete. |
| Ascus | The spore sac where ascomyetes produces ascospores |
| Ascospore | A spore produced in an ascus by ascomycetes |
| Mycorrhiza | A symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots |
| Lichen | A mass of cells formed by a fungus in symbiosis with a photosynthetic partner |
| Aflatoxin | A toxic fungal poison that causes liver cancer |
