Types□YEASTS
□Unicellular□Reproduce by budding
□Anaerobic respiration (fermentation): Process by which a cell releases energy from food without using oxygen (yeast). By products are CO2 & alcohol.
□Yeasts are used in making bread, wine, beer and solvents.

An umbrella
Cap (Fruiting Body)
Fall
Colonies
MushroomCap (Fruiting Body) Gills
Stalk
Hyphae
Spores
Why would mold spread more and faster than
mushrooms?□Mushroom spores drop to the ground from the cap
□Mold spores burst out of the fruiting body into the air
How are the hyphae of mold and mushrooms different?
Mold’s hyphae are visable on the surface of objects
Mushroom’s hyphae are not visable because it is underground
Fungi
Plant and Animal diseases
□Humans:□ringworm, athlete's foot, and several
more serious diseases are caused by fungi.
□ difficult to treat.
□Plant:□ caused by fungi include rusts, smuts,
and leaf, root, and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops.
Helpful uses□Drugs made from fungi cure diseases
and stop the rejection of transplanted hearts and other organs.
□Fungi are also grown in large vats to produce flavorings for cooking, vitamins and enzymes for removing stains.
□Bread, cheese, yogurt
