Fungi:
Organisms that lack roots, stems and leaves. They lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize their own food.
Live where they can absorb organic matter as well as minerals and water, so they grow on the remains of plants or animals, or as parasites on living organisms.
They reproduce by producing spores carried about by the wind until they settle in a suitable spot where they can grow.

Examples of Fungi
Mildews, rusts, mushrooms, puffballs, conks, yeasts and molds.

Conks:
A type of fungus found attached to tree trunks.
They grown like steps or shelves and have growth rings like trees.
They look soft, like mushrooms, but are very hard and are firmly attached to the trunk.

Lichens
Composite organisms created by a relationship between fungus and algae. The fungus absorbs the water and nutrients, while the algae produces the food.
If it can produce its own food, is it a plant?

Lichens
Grow on walls, rocks, tree bark, and other places where neither fungus nor algae could exist alone.
They grow very slowly. They can withstand extreme heat and
cold (but not smoke or fumes).

The Types of Lichens:
There are 6 types of lichens in total. They can be found in several colours: orange, yellow, green and grey.
The three most commonly found types of lichen are: Crustose (crusty), Foliose (leaf-like) and Fruticose (treelike, or shrubby).
![Page 8: Fungus, Lichen, and Conks. Fungi: Organisms that lack roots, stems and leaves. They lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize their own food. Live](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/56649e725503460f94b70870/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Crustose (Crusty) Lichen:
Grows flat or may be embedded in the bark or rock surface.
The entire undersurface of this type is attached.
![Page 9: Fungus, Lichen, and Conks. Fungi: Organisms that lack roots, stems and leaves. They lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize their own food. Live](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/56649e725503460f94b70870/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Foliose (leaf-like) Lichen:
Attached in spots with margins or ridges that are often lobed and free. They curl up off of the surface from which they grow, and look like crumbled leaves.
This type is attached to the surface by many root-like threads.
![Page 10: Fungus, Lichen, and Conks. Fungi: Organisms that lack roots, stems and leaves. They lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize their own food. Live](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/56649e725503460f94b70870/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fruticose (tree-like or shrubby) Lichen
Like a branched plant. They grow upright or hang from the
surface from which they grow and are only attached to the surface at the base.
![Page 11: Fungus, Lichen, and Conks. Fungi: Organisms that lack roots, stems and leaves. They lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize their own food. Live](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/56649e725503460f94b70870/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mushrooms
They produce spores for reproduction. The main part of the organism is below
the surface of the ground; it’s the thread-like mycellium that collects the water and nutrients for growth.
Can be found in a wild range of shapes, colours and locations in the forest.

Mycorrhizal Fungi:
Grow on the roots of trees. They have a mutual beneficial relationship
with trees. When sugar is produced in the leaves of the
tree, it is sent out to provide food for all parts of the tree, including the roots. The fungi feeds on the sugar provided to the roots. In return, the fungi breaks down the nitrogen and phosphorous in the soil enabling the tree to make use of it.

Mycorrhizal Fungi:
They have an edible, blackish fruit called truffles.
