Fungal Characteristics
1)Cell wall made of Chitin
2)Heterotrophs and major Decomposers
called saprophytes.
3)Body is made of Long filaments of
hyphae which form a mycelium
4)Reproduce sexually and asexually
Asexually by spores
Sexually by mating of hyphae filaments

40. Fungi undergo asexual reproduction
by forming buds and many spores.
Actually, the black thing you see in
fungi are spores in large numbers.
These spores are abundant in the
environment as they are carried
easily by wind, water, animals, or
humans. When spores land in areas
suitable for their growth, new fungus
develops.

REPRODUCTION OF FUNGI
41. Differences in the fruiting structures of three
groups of fungi. (a) occurs in bread mold, (b) in
yeasts and (c) in mushrooms.
46. HarmfulFungi:
mold (Aspergillus flavus)
Effect:
. produces aflatoxin, a poisonous substance
if large amounts of aflatoxin in moldy corn, garlic or
peanuts are ingested, both poultry and humans can be
poisoned.
