30.1 What Is a Fungus?
Fungi digest their food outside their bodies
by secreting digestive enzymes to break
down large food molecules, then they
absorb the breakdown products
(absorptive heterotrophy).
Many are saprobes (absorb nutrients from
dead organic matter); still others are
mutualists.

Yeasts
Yeasts: unicellular, free-living fungi.
The term does not refer to a taxonomic
group but rather to a lifestyle that has
evolved multiple times.
Yeasts live in liquid or moist environments
and absorb nutrients directly across cell
surfaces (no hyphae).
Yeasts are easy to culture and grow rapidly,
making them ideal model eukaryote
organisms.

Multicellular Fungi: Hyphae Used to Create Structures
27

Multicellular Fungi: Mycelia Made Up of Hyphae
28
Hyphae
• Hyphae cell walls have chitin.
• Some hyphae have incomplete cross walls or septa, and
are called septate. Hyphae without septa are called
coenocytic.
• Hyphae allow high surface area to volume ratio. Aids in
absorption but susceptible to drying.

mycelia
Hyphae are used to create
structures such as rhizoids (for
anchoring) and fungal
“bodies” (known as mycleia).

Fungal reproduction
38
43. Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2014
Fungal reproduction
If food runs short, one strategy is to
reproduce fast.
Fungi produce huge quantities of spores,
especially if nutrients are low. Spores
remain dormant or disperse to new areas.
Spores are tiny and easily blown by the
wind. Wide dispersal ensures at least some
will find favorable conditions.

• Asexual reproduction in fungi:
!Production of haploid spores in sporangia
!Production of haploid spores (conidia) at hyphae tips
!Cell division by unicellular fungi—fission or budding
!Breakage of the mycelium
• Sexual reproduction
!Rare or unknown in some groups, common in others.
!Fungi have no male/female distinctions or structures.
!Mating types are genetically different but not
physically different.
!There may be two or more mating types.
!Individuals of the same type cannot mate, avoiding
self-fertilization.
