Key ideas
• Unique life cycle
• Role as a symbiont, parasitically,
commensalistically, and mutualistically
• Role as a pioneer species
• Role as a decomposer
Concept 31.1: Fungi are heterotrophs that
feed by absorption
• Fungi are heterotrophs and absorb nutrients from
outside of their body
• Fungi use enzymes to break down a large variety
of complex molecules into smaller organic
compounds
• Fungi exhibit diverse lifestyles
– Decomposers
–
rabbit decomposing
– Parasites
–
previously shown, with new bonus mushroom and slime mold time-lapse
– Mutualists

Anatomy basics
• Fungi consist of mycelia, networks of
branched hyphae adapted for absorption
• A mycelium’s structure maximizes its surface
area-to-volume ratio
• Fungal cell walls contain chitin

• Mycorrhizae are mutually beneficial
relationships between fungi and plant roots,
which most vascular plants have
– Ectomycorrhizal fungi form sheaths of hyphae over
a root and also grow into the extracellular spaces of
the root cortex
– Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi extend hyphae
through the cell walls of root cells and into tubes
formed by invagination of the root cell membrane

Concept 31.2: Fungi produce spores
through sexual or asexual life cycles
• Fungi propagate themselves by producing vast
numbers of spores, either sexually or asexually, or
both

Asexual Reproduction
• In addition to sexual reproduction, many fungi
can reproduce asexually
• Molds produce haploid spores by mitosis and
form visible mycelia

CHECK-IN Q
• Yeast are unicellular and reproduce by
budding. Then what makes them fungi?

Concept 31.3: The ancestor of fungi was an
aquatic, single-celled, flagellated protist
• DNA evidence suggests that
– Fungi are most closely related to unicellular
nucleariids
– Animals are most closely related to unicellular
choanoflagellates
• Based on this, did fungi and animals split before or after
the emergence of multicellularity?

The Move to Land
• If fungi are heterotrophic, how does it make
sense that they were among the first land
colonizers?

The Move to Land
• If fungi are eukaryotic, how does it make sense
that they were among the first land colonizers?

Concept 31.4: Fungi have radiated into a
diverse set of lineages
• Molecular analyses have helped clarify
evolutionary relationships among fungal groups,
although areas of uncertainty remain

Chytrids
• Chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota) are found in
freshwater and terrestrial habitats
• They can be decomposers, parasites, or
mutualists
– Chytrids are unique among fungi in having flagellated
spores, called zoospores

Zygomycetes
• The zygomycetes (phylum Zygomycota) include
fast-growing molds, parasites
– The life cycle of black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer) is fairly
typical of the phylum
– Its hyphae are coenocytic
– Asexual sporangia produce haploid spores

Glomeromycetes
• The glomeromycetes (phylum Glomeromycota)
were once considered zygomycetes
• They are now classified in a separate clade
• Glomeromycetes form arbuscular mycorrhizae

Ascomycetes
• Ascomycetes (phylum Ascomycota) produce
sexual spores in saclike asci contained in fruiting
bodies called ascocarps
– Ascomycetes are commonly called sac fungi
– Ascomycetes vary in size and complexity from
unicellular yeasts to elaborate cup fungi and morels

Basidiomycetes
• Basidomycetes (phylum Basidiomycota) include
mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi,
mycorrhizae, and plant parasites
– The phylum is defined by a clublike structure called a
basidium, a transient diploid stage in the life cycle
– The basidiomycetes are also called club fungi
– Many basidiomycetes are decomposers of wood

quickly

Concept 31.5: Fungi play key roles in
nutrient cycling, ecological interactions,
and human welfare
• Fungi interact with other organisms as
decomposers, mutualists, and pathogens

Fungi as Decomposers/Nutrient recylers
• Fungi are efficient decomposers of organic
material including cellulose and lignin
• Fungi are also used in bioremediation projects
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fungi as Mutualists
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fungus-Plant Mutualisms
• Mycorrhizae are enormously important in natural
ecosystems and agriculture
– Plants harbor harmless symbiotic endophytes, fungi
that live inside leaves or other plant parts
– Endophytes make toxins that deter herbivores and
defend against pathogens

symbiosis
Lichens
• A lichen is a symbiotic association between a
photosynthetic microorganism and a fungus
– The photosynthetic component is green algae or
cyanobacteria
– The fungal component is most often an ascomycete
• The symbioses are so complete that lichens are
given scientific names

• Lichens are important pioneers on new rock and
soil surfaces
• Lichens may have helped the colonization of
land by plants 550–600 million years ago

Fungi as Pathogens
• About 30% of known fungal species are parasites
or pathogens, mostly on or in plants
• Each year, 10% to 50% of the world’s fruit harvest
is lost due to fungi
• Some fungi that attack food crops are toxic to
humans

• Ergotism is characterized by gangrene, nervous
spasms, burning sensations, hallucinations, and
temporary insanity
– Ergots contain lysergic acid, the raw material for LSD

Practical Uses of Fungi
• Humans eat many fungi and use others to
make cheeses, alcoholic beverages, and
bread
• Some fungi are used to produce antibiotics
for the treatment of bacterial infections
