FUNGUS

Most species of fungi secrete an enzyme that digests the organism through decomposition

STRUCTURE

• The body is made out of hyphae
• Mycelium is the complicated feeding network
• The cell walls of the hyphae are made of chitin
• Septa are cross walls used for more strength
• They also have dimorphism which is the ability to change

REPRODUCTION

• Asexual-hyphae break off and form a new fungi
• Budding
• Sexual-two hyphae come togther
• Spores can be carried by animals and wind to other places

EXAMPLES

• Penicillin
• Rust
• Mushroom
• Yeast
• Mold
