    Introduction
    When a person first thinks about fungi, the thing that
    comes to mind is mushrooms, such as mildew morels,
    truffels, puffballs. In reality, mushrooms are just
    temporary reproductive structures tjat expand from
    ceartin kinds of fungi.
    Fungi are nonmotile, heterotrophic, ekuaryotes. They
    resemble plant, yet they clearly are not plant. Fungi
    lack chloroplasts and are not photosynthetic. Based on
    their multicellular structure and mode of nutrition,
    Whittaker placed fungi in their own kingdom.
    …

    Fungi feed of the organic remains of the plants


    and animals. Fungi feed by absorbing small
    organic molecules. They secrete digestive system
    enzymes and break down food into small
    molecules outside fungus, then ingest it through a
    membare. Fungi, along with bacteria, are the most
    important decomposers in the biosphere and play
    an essential role in recycling carbon, nitrogen and
    other mineral nutrients. Some fungi are parasitic,
    feeding on the living tissues of plants and animals
    Fungal Structure
    01
    Fungal Structure

    Fungi are nonmotile. They don not have


    flagella or cilia at any stage in their life
    cycle. Fungi are either unicellular or
    filamentous.

    Fungi can be unicellular, like yeasts, but


    most fungi have a multicellular body known
    as a mycellum. A mycellum is a network of
    filaments called hyphae.
    Fungal Structure

    Hyphae are cylindrical thread-like filaments. Hyphae


    facilitate the absorption of food into the body of
    fungi.fungi cells have cell walls containing chitin, not
    cellulose. The energy reserve of fungal cells is not
    starch but glycogen.

    02 Fungi
    Reproduction
    Fungi have a diversity of modes of
    reproduction, but in general, fungal sexual
    reproduction involve these stages : …
    Reproduction
    In sexual reproduction, the hyphae of two mating strains of fungi lie side
    by side, and each grows a projection toward the other. These projections,
    called gametangla, meet and fuse together. The intervening cell walls
    break down, so tha nuclei from each strand can then fuse directly into a
    diploid zygote. This zygote, the only diploid stage in the life cycle of
    fungi, undergoes meiosis to form four haploid spores, cointained in a
    small sporangla/ a spore is a cell that can develop directly into a
    complete adult haploid organisms. Like most spores, fungal spores are
    enclosed a special protective wrapper that guards against mechanical or
    chemical damage.

    In asexual reproduction, aspores are usually produced by a single


    mycellum.
