Life Science Chapter 11b - Summary Notes

Fungi

• Fungi are consumers that have to live near their food supply. This is because they are stationary like plants.
• Most fungi are multicellular and made up of chains of cells called hyphae.
• The hyphae are underground, like roots of a plant. They twist together in a mass called the mycelium.
• Hyphae can break apart to form a new individual in asexual reproduction.
• Asexual reproduction could also be spore reproduction.
• Sex cells can join in sexual reproduction to produce sexual spores that grow into a new fungus.
• There are different types of fungi. Molds are thread fungi. Mushrooms are club fungi.
• A lichen is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow intertwined. Unlike fungi, lichens are producers.
