Fungus
organisms in the kingdom fungi, mushroom, yeasts, etc.
Hyphae
branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus
Coenocytic hyphae
hyphae that is not separated by septum
Septate Hyphae
hyphae that are separated into many sections by septum
Karygoamy
fusion of nuclei (zygotes, diploid cells are formed)
Playsmogamy
fusion of cytoplasm (hyphae become heterokaryotic)
Heterokaryotic
different nuclei in the same cell
Fruiting body
spore-producing organ of a fungus, seen on a mushroom or a toadstool
Mitosis
when parent cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells
Meiosis
formation of haploid spores
Chytridiomycota
clade of fungi. Synap: flagellated spores (zoospores)
Zoospore
asexual spores in certain algae, fungi, protozoans
Zygomycota
clade of fungi. Bread mold
Zygosporangium
diploid reproductive stage in the life cycle of many fungi (contains zygospores)
Glomeromycota
clade of fungi. form mycorrhizae in a plant
Mycorrhizae
fungus+root=mycorrhizae. enhances nutrient and water uptake by a host plant by exploiting a larger volume of soil than roots alone
Ascomycte
clade of fungi, cup-shaped ascocarp
Ascocarp
fruiting body with asci (containing spores)
Lichen
the symbiosis between an ascomycete fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium
Basidiomycota
clade of fungi, fungi composed of hyphae
Basidium
spore-bearing structure produced by certain fungi
