Kingdom Fungi• Eukaryotes• Cell wall made of chitin, a carbohydrate (same compound as exoskeleton of insects!!!!!)• Most multicellular: mushrooms, molds• Some unicellular: yeasts• Heterotrophs: - decomposers
- some parasites• Body made is made of filaments called hyphae• Reproduce using spores

Characteristics of Fungi• The body of a fungus is called a mycelium --a matt of thin,
tangled threads. • The individual thread like strands of cells are called hyphae. • Cell wall made of chitin a carbohydrate (same compound as
exoskeleton of insects!!!!!)

Hyphae are one cell thick but many cells long

Reproduction- Mushrooms
reproduce using spores
- Spores are small reproductive cells released from the gills
- Mushrooms can also reproduce when hyphae break off and grow on their own

Most fungi are decomposers. Break down organic material like dead
animals, plants, etc.They feed by releasing digestive enzymes
that break down organic compounds. The cells (hyphae) then absorb the digested compounds.
Some are parasites: Feed on other living organisms
• Athlete’s foot• Candida albicans (vaginal and mouth
yeast infections)

• Tinea pedis (Athlete’s foot)
• Candida albicans (yeast infection)
• Usually kept in check by competition with bacteria. This balance can be upset by antibiotics that kill the bacteria

Useful FungiSome Fungi produce antibiotics- Penicillium notatum makes Penicillin (antibiotic)- Grows naturally in some fruits -oranges

Fungi used to make cheese: Blue Cheese: Penicillium roquefortii is used to
make blue cheeses: Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton, etc.
The blue ‘stuff’ are spores: You eat millions in one bite!

Yeast: used to make bread, wine, beer- Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baking). Unicellular- Yeasts use sugars as a source of energy during
respiration.- Their waste products are CO2 and alcohol

Lichens• Symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a
photosynthetic organism:-Algae (Protista) or Cyanobacteria (Eubacteria)

Some mushrooms contain deadly toxins. Don’t touch unknown mushrooms! Hallucinogens in some (high doses deadly)Some poisonous Ohio mushrooms:

Importance of fungi to humans-- Diseases—e.g., yeast infections
with Candida cause thrush--Food spoilage—zygomycete bread
molds; ergot molds on wet grains (source of LSD; likely cause of witch hunts in Salem, MA/Europe) cause hallucinations.
--Plant pathogens like molds, smuts, rustsspecial hyphae to invade living plant tissue are called haustoria.
++Mychorrhizae allow more robust plant growth
++Succession restores soil (as after volcano erupts)
++Primary decomposers on land
++Food sources –mushrooms
++Fermentation of alcoholic beverages (alcoholic fermentation by yeasts)

The cellulase enzyme allows fungi to act as a decomposer, essential in every food web. The outer ring on this food web diagram shows how
decomposers link all levels of the food web.
