Fungi Lab: Zygomycota (common mold)
1. Name and describe three kinds of hyphae that make up bread mold
• Rhizoids = rootlike hyphae that penetrate bread; anchor fungus to bread, release digestive enzymes, absorb nutrients
• Stolons = stemlike hyphae that run along surface of bread
• Sporangiophores = form sporangia at tip (spore containing structure)
2. Sketch and label sporangia and hyphae
3. Function of sporangia• Produce spores
4. Function of hyphae• Absorb nutrients
5. Zygospore formed during asexual or sexual life cycle of zygomycete?
• Sexual
6. How does bread mold grow in a “clean” kitchen?
• Mold spores are floating everywhere in the air around us
Basidiomycota (club fungi)
7. How does it get the name “club fungi”?
From a specialized reproductive structure that resembles a club
8. What is the scientific name of the “club”?
Basidium
9. Function of droplets on the gillsContain and release spores
10. How fairy ring formed?Tree dies at center, mycelium grows outward from central start, then puts up mushrooms
Basidiomycota (club fungi)
11. Sketch and label gilled mushroom—show where spores are produced
12. Why in basidiomycota phylum?Basidium = spore producing
13. Function of mushroom?Reproduction
14. All produce basidium? No
Basidiomycota (club fungi)15. Puffballs, how spores spread?16. Bird’s nest fungus, how far does
