Asci form these kinds of spores.
What are ascospores?
200
The mycelium is made up of these individual fungal cells.
What are hyphae?
200
This fungal growth is often a source of redness, itchiness, irritation and distinct odor in running shoes.
What is Athlete's Foot?
200
Members of this Phylum are often called "club fungi" because of the club-shaped cells on their gills.
What is Basidiomycota?
200
Digging up fallen sticks and leaves could reveal a clump of white filaments collectively known as what?
What is myceleum?
200
Basidia form these kind of spores.
What are basidiospores?
300
Along the ridges of the gills and beneath the cap you can find these spore-holding cells.
What are basidia?
300
These fungi can cost as much as $2000 per pound and efforts to cultivate them have come to naught. They can only be found in the wild.
What is a truffle?
300
Slime molds belong to this Phylum because they spend part of their lives acting like protozoa and reproduce like fungi.
What is Myxomycota?
300
Cutting into the mushrooms proved difficult in some cases thanks to this chemical in its cell walls, giving it toughness and flexibility.
What is chitin?
300
Aerial hyphae specialized in releasing spores are called this.
What is a Sporophore?
400
The text mentions several types of fungal cells including these cells so-named because they are embedded in the material on which the fungus grows.
What is Rhizoid Hyphae?
400
Some fungi form haustoria, creating this kind of relationship.
What is parasitic?
400
If you don't know what to call it because you don't how it reproduces, you just throw it into this Phylum.
What is Deuteromycota?
400
Yeast cells fed on the sugar in your cups and released these two byproducts.
What are alcohol and carbon dioxide?
400
Spores can be so overrated! Bread mold uses these specialized form of hyphae to slide across the ground and drop new filaments, reproducing asexually.
What are stolons?
500
The simplest of its kind in nature, this DNA structure is a combination of two halves shared by different parent organisms and shares some of the traits of both.
What is a zygote?
500
Nearly 80% of all plants with a room system participate in this "fungus root" type of relationship.
What is mycorrhiza?
500
Bread Mold typically comes from this Phylum.
What is Zygomycota?
500
Yeast began to multiply exponentially in your styrofoam cups, mostly thanks to this form of asexual reproduction.
What is budding?
