Overview of fungi

• Heterotrophs
• Extracellular digestion
• Some fungi capable of digesting lignin
• Non-cellulose, chitin-impregnated cell walls
• Nonflagellated sperm
• Most fungi are composed of a mycelium, a mass of
  filamentous hyphae that may be septate or
  aseptate
• Except in the zygote, all fungi nuclei are
  haploid
• Fungi Phyla are differentiated by mode of
  reproduction
