heterotrophs
some are unicellular (yeasts)
most are multicellular
body = mycelium (many hyphae)
feed by absorption
some are septate, others ceonocytic
cell walls strengthened by chitin
coenocytichyphaseptate
hypha

Fungallife cycles
Fig 31.5
hetero- = different-karyon = nucleus
gamos = marriage
Many spp only reproduce asexually (deuteromycetes)
