Document Summary
In the past, morphological characteristics were utilized to separate fungi into their divisions (not any more now because we use dna sequencing: fungi were actually going through sexual reproduction. They would produce a characteristic structure, and that"s how they were grouped. Some of them are still named after those structures (because they did it by the way they looked. ) In some symbiotic relationships they can take advantage of photosynthetic organisms to make compounds and the plant gets nutrients locked up in the soil. The plant does not have the enzymes to break up those compounds and take individual nutrients, but the fungus does and can: 2 main types: Sexual reproductive structure of an ascomycete: one structure has billions of ascospores through that white part, scarlet cup fungus. Saprobes: decomposers of dead material (most fungi: mold (might even be the first fungi that turned into an antibiotic: penicillin) Symbiotic relationship between fungal species and either a cyanobacteria or unicellular photosynthetic eukaryote.
