Overview: Mighty Mushrooms
• Fungi are diverse and widespread
• They are essential for the well-being of most terrestrial ecosystems because they break down organic material and recycle vital nutrients

Concept 31.1: Fungi are heterotrophs that feed by absorption
• Despite their diversity, fungi share key traits, most importantly the way in which they derive nutrition
![Page 5: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Nutrition and Ecology
• Fungi are heterotrophs and absorb nutrients from outside of their body
• Fungi use enzymes to break down a large variety of complex molecules into smaller organic compounds
• The versatility of these enzymes contributes to fungi’s ecological success
![Page 6: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• Fungi exhibit diverse lifestyles:
– Decomposers
– Parasites
– Mutualists

Fungal Morphology
• The morphology of multicellular fungi enhances their ability to absorb nutrients
• Fungi consist of mycelia, networks of branched hyphae adapted for absorption
• Most fungi have cell walls made of chitin

• Some fungi have hyphae divided into cells by septa, with pores allowing cell-to-cell movement of organelles
• Coenocytic fungi lack septa

• Mycorrhizae are mutually beneficial relationships between fungi and plant roots
• Ectomycorrhizal fungi form sheaths of hyphae over a root and also grow into the extracellular spaces of the root cortex
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi extend hyphae through the cell walls of root cells and into tubes formed by invagination of the root cell membrane

Concept 31.2: Fungi produce spores through sexual or asexual life cycles
• Fungi propagate themselves by producing vast numbers of spores, either sexually or asexually
• Fungi can produce spores from different types of life cycles
![Page 18: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Sexual Reproduction
• Fungal nuclei are normally haploid, with the exception of transient diploid stages formed during the sexual life cycles
• Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of hyphae from different mating types
• Fungi use sexual signaling molecules called pheromones to communicate their mating type
![Page 22: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Plasmogamy is the union of two parent mycelia
• In most fungi, the haploid nuclei from each parent do not fuse right away; they coexist in the mycelium, called a heterokaryon
• In some fungi, the haploid nuclei pair off two to a cell; such a mycelium is said to be dikaryotic
![Page 23: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Hours, days, or even centuries may pass before the occurrence of karyogamy, nuclear fusion
• During karyogamy, the haploid nuclei fuse, producing diploid cells
• The diploid phase is short-lived and undergoes meiosis, producing haploid spores
![Page 24: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Asexual Reproduction
• In addition to sexual reproduction, many fungi can reproduce asexually
• Molds produce haploid spores by mitosis and form visible mycelia
![Page 25: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

• Other fungi that can reproduce asexually are yeasts, which inhabit moist environments
• Instead of producing spores, yeasts reproduce asexually by simple cell division and the pinching of “bud cells” from a parent cell

• Many molds and yeasts have no known sexual stage
• Mycologists have traditionally called these deuteromycetes, or imperfect fungi
![Page 29: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Concept 31.3: The ancestor of fungi was an aquatic, single-celled, flagellated protist
• Fungi and animals are more closely related to each other than they are to plants or other eukaryotes
![Page 30: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

The Origin of Fungi
• Fungi, animals, and their protistan relatives form the opisthokonts clade

• DNA evidence suggests that fungi are most closely related to unicellular nucleariids while animals are most closely related to unicellular choanoflagellates
• This suggests that fungi and animals evolved from a common flagellated unicellular ancestor and multicellularity arose separately in the two groups
• The oldest undisputed fossils of fungi are only about 460 million years old

Are Microsporidia Closely Related to Fungi?
• Microsporidia are unicellular parasites of animals and protists
• They have tiny organelles derived from mitochondria but not conventional mitochondria
• Molecular comparisons indicate they may be closely related to fungi

The Move to Land
• Fungi were among the earliest colonizers of land and probably formed mutualistic relationships with early land plants

Chytrids
• Chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota) are found in freshwater and terrestrial habitats
• They can be decomposers, parasites, or mutualists
• Molecular evidence supports the hypothesis that chytrids diverged early in fungal evolution
• Chytrids are unique among fungi in having flagellated spores, called zoospores

• Until recently, systematists thought that fungi lost flagella only once in their evolutionary history
• Molecular data indicate that some “chytrids” are actually more closely related to another fungal group, the zygomycetes; chytrids are a paraphyletic group
![Page 48: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Zygomycetes
• The zygomycetes (phylum Zygomycota) exhibit great diversity of life histories
• They include fast-growing molds, parasites, and commensal symbionts
• The zygomycetes are named for their sexually produced zygosporangia
• Zygosporangia, which are resistant to freezing and drying, can survive unfavorable conditions

Ascomycetes
• Ascomycetes (phylum Ascomycota) live in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats
• The phylum is defined by production of sexual spores in saclike asci, usually contained in fruiting bodies called ascocarps
• Ascomycetes are commonly called sac fungi
• Ascomycetes vary in size and complexity from unicellular yeasts to elaborate cup fungi and morels

• Ascomycetes include plant pathogens, decomposers, and symbionts
• Ascomycetes reproduce asexually by enormous numbers of asexual spores called conidia
• Conidia are not formed inside sporangia; they are produced asexually at the tips of specialized hyphae called conidiophores
• Neurospora is a model organism with a well-studied genome

Basidiomycetes
• Basidomycetes (phylum Basidiomycota) include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi, mutualists, and plant parasites
• The phylum is defined by a clublike structure called a basidium, a transient diploid stage in the life cycle
• The basidiomycetes are also called club fungi

• The life cycle of a basidiomycete usually includes a long-lived dikaryotic mycelium
• In response to environmental stimuli, the mycelium reproduces sexually by producing elaborate fruiting bodies call basidiocarps
• Mushrooms are examples of basidiocarps
• The numerous basidia in a basidiocarp are sources of sexual spores called basidiospores

Fungi as Decomposers
• Fungi are efficient decomposers
• They perform essential recycling of chemical elements between the living and nonliving world
![Page 84: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Fungi as Mutualists
• Fungi form mutualistic relationships with plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and animals
• All of these relationships have profound ecological effects
![Page 85: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)

Fungus-Plant Mutualisms
• Mycorrhizae are enormously important in natural ecosystems and agriculture
• Plants harbor harmless symbiotic endophytes that live inside leaves or other plant parts
• Endophytes make toxins that deter herbivores and defend against pathogens
![Page 86: Chapter 31 Presentation](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110204/55d4aaf1bb61eb14348b4608/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Fungus-Animal Symbioses
• Some fungi share their digestive services with animals
• These fungi help break down plant material in the guts of cows and other grazing mammals
• Many species of ants and termites use the digestive power of fungi by raising them in “farms”

• The algae provide carbon compounds, cyanobacteria provide organic nitrogen, and fungi provide the environment for growth
• The fungi of lichens can reproduce sexually and asexually
• Asexual reproduction is by fragmentation or the formation of soredia, small clusters of hyphae with embedded algae

Fungi as Pathogens
• About 30% of known fungal species are parasites or pathogens, mostly on or in plants
• Some fungi that attack food crops are toxic to humans
• Animals are much less susceptible to parasitic fungi than are plants
• The general term for a fungal infection in animals is mycosis

Practical Uses of Fungi
• Humans eat many fungi and use others to make cheeses, alcoholic beverages, and bread
• Some fungi are used to produce antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections, for example the ascomycete Penicillium
• Genetic research on fungi is leading to applications in biotechnology
– For example, insulin-like growth factor can be produced in the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae
