Fungi Kingdom

• Eukaryotes.
• Use spores to reproduce.
• Heterotrophs cannot make their own food.
• Need warm, moist places to grow.
• Examples yeast, molds and mushrooms.

3
The fungus grows a structure called hyphae
(threadlike tubes) into food. Then releases
digestive chemicals into food. After food is
broken down, hyphae absorb it.

Reproduction in Fungi

• When plenty of moisture, fungi reproduce
  asexually by releasing thousands of spores
  carried by water and air.
• If spores land in a warm, moist place they grow.

5

• Reproduction of yeast is different because it is
  unicellular. They reproduce by budding. A well
  fed cell grows from the body of the mother cell
  and then breaks off.

Four classifications of Fungi

• Zygote (Threadlike) - produce spores in their
  threadlike hyphae (ex. Bread mold)
• Sac - produce spores in structures that look like
  sacs (ex. Yeast)

7
Club produce spores in structures that look
like clubs (ex. Mushrooms) Imperfect those
that cannot reproduce sexually (ex. Penicillin)
