Classification of Kingdom Fungi• Fungi are classified based on
the type or shape of their reproductive structures = sporangium.
![Page 3: Classification of fungi 2016](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/588074f71a28ab64028b5ed9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are 3 phyla:
1. Phylum MastigomycotaEx) Water Molds• Motile spores – flagella with
cellulose cell walls• Mainly saprophytes• Sexual and asexual
reproduction
![Page 4: Classification of fungi 2016](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/588074f71a28ab64028b5ed9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Phylum Amastigomycota
• Non-motile spores with chitin cell walls.– There are 3 classes:
• Class Zygomycetes• Class Ascomycetes• Class Basidiomycetes

a) Class Zygomycetes (conjugation fungi):(zygote = fertilized egg; mycetes – thread)Ex) Rhizopus (Bread mold)
• Reproduction:– Sexually – zygospores– Asexually – spores.
• Some are saprophytes• NO dikaryotic stage

b) Class Ascomycetes (sac fungi)
• Sexual and asexual spores.– Sexual spores called ascospores– Asexual spores called conidia

b) Class Ascomycetes (contd)
• SHORT dikaryotic stage• Many pathogens of plants
ex) Dutch Elm’s diseaseMemory trick: “Asc” rearranges to
form “SAC”
ID - No mushrooms with gills are among the ascos

Aspergillus flavusGrows on peanuts (& other foods)
•Produces a TOXIN (called mycotoxin)
•When eaten, this causes vomiting, abdominal pain, pulmonary edema, convulsions, coma and death.
•It is also the most potent CARCINOGEN known to man. Long-term exposure to low levels of this mycotoxin will cause LIVER CANCER

•They range from golf ball size to as large as a watermelon.

Mushrooms follow the path made by fairies dancing in a ring.
FAIRY RING
• Mushrooms grow on the outer edges of the mycelium.
The body of this fungus, its mycelium, is underground. It grows outward in a circle. As it grows, the mycelium uses up all of the nutrients in the soil, starving the grass.
• Rings can grow outward at 20cm/yr.
• One ring formed in France is almost 600m in diameter. This ring is thought to be 700 years old.

• Hallucinogenic & deadly poisonous mushroom.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and severe diarrhea and can lead to coma and death.
Fly Agaric Mushroom
• Contains ibotenic acid and a number of other organic poisons.
• Can cause severe damage to the CNS, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and muscles.

MEMORY TRICK• Memory trick for the dikaryotic stage:
ZAB – no, short, long
Z = no dikaryotic stage for zygomycetesA = short dikaryotic stage for ascomycetesB = long dikaryotic stage for basidiomycetes

3. Phylum Deuteromycota
Ex) Athlete’s foot, ringworm, thrush, yeast infections.
• Imperfect fungi – resemble sac & club fungi (so imperfect)
• Asexual spores only – no sexual ones
• Pathogens of animals – ringworm, Athlete’s foot– PARASITES!!

The caterpillar The caterpillar fungusfungus
What is it? A fruiting body produced by the fungus that lives on dead caterpillars of the moth Hepilus fabricius.
When the caterpillar dies, spores are spread to the next generation of caterpillars.
Today the most common way to prepare it is to stuff a duck with the caterpillar fungus, boil it, and then drink the hot liquid from the duck.
Chinese people have used this fungus as a tonic/medicine for thousands of years.

Caterpillar fungus can be bought in Chinese drug stores for up to $53/pound.
•Some people believe the caterpillar fungus cures TB, coughing, anemia, and back and knee pains.
•Today, it is used to increase strength, decrease stress, or for rejuvenation after a long serious injury.
•Scientists are also using it to combat some types of cancer.

Yeasts: bread, wine, & beer.
Drugs: cure diseases and stop the rejection of transplanted hearts and other organs.
Flavorings: for cooking
Vitamins
Enzymes: for removing stains

The ants cannot digest cellulose, but the fungus can.
By using the cellulose as food for its own growth, the fungus converts the cellulose into carbohydrates.
LEAF CUTTING ANTSCreate their food supply by creating a
‘fungi-garden’ that is mutually beneficial
The ants then eat the fungus.
