What makes a fungus a fungus?
The Four Factors. |
1) They are made up of nuclei and have chromosomes.
2) They cannot go through photosynthesis. 3) They get nutrients by absorbing them from their surroundings. 4) They normally produce asexually by spores that are released by various unique structures. |
5 different fungi organisms.
The first photo you see is known as Hericium erinaceus.
The second photo is a photo of Laetiporus sulphureus. The third photo is a photo of a mushroom called Hygrocybe conica. The forth photo is a photo of the fungus Hygrocybe ceracea. Fifth and finally is a photo of Rhizopus stolonifer. |

Two questions about their relationships1. Which organisms are closely related?
The Hygrocybe conica and the Hygrocybe ceacea are closely related due to the fact that they have the same genus. 2.Which organisms are least related? Why is it an outlier? The Rhizopus stolonifer is the least related due to the fact that it only shares kingdoms with the other 4 organisms because it is a mold. |
Different Parts of a mushroom
Mycelium- The part that is underground and acts as the way mushrooms gets its food
Pileus- The cap part of the mushroom
Stipe- The stem
Lamellae- any of the spore gills of a mushroom
Adnexed- Theattachment of the fertile tissue to the stipe of the fungus which is where the fertile tissue usually curves upwards toward the
pileus of the fungus before coming in contact with the stipe.
Spore- Usually a single-celled reproductive body
