most yest are placed in phylum

ascomycota

aspergillus has sporophores that produce spores that are not with in an enclosure. what are these sporophores called

conidiophores

which fungus causes st. Anthony's fire, a disease that produces hallucinations and burning sensations

ergot of rye

although fungi can cause many types of skin infections, they never cause any life-threatening diseases. t or f

false

all of the following are methods of asexual reproduction in fungi except

fruiting bodies

fungus would most likely be excluded from the phylum basidiomycota if

it produces ascospores

the study of fungi is called

mycology

hyphae that are embedded in the material on which the fungus is growing are called

rhizoids

the common black bread mold is

rhizopus

fungi are grouped into phyla based primarily on

source of nutrition

mycorrhizae are

symbiotic relationships between fungi and plant roots

which is not true of lichens

they are an example of symbiosis, reproduce by soredia, consist of fungus, good indicators of air

fungi are not classified with plants because

they are heterotrophic, and lack tissue

which is the most important beneficial function of fungi

they function as decomposer organisms

why are the imperfect fungi not classified in one of three fungal phyla

they have no known method of sexual reproduction

most fungi carry on external digestion. t or f
