  3. Structure • Yeasts are single-celled. • Multicellular fungi are composed of filaments called Hyphae. • A dense mass of hyphae is calledMycelium. • Perforated walls, or Septa, divide the hyphae into cells containing nuclei.

  4. Reproduction • When fungi reproduce Sexually, the male and female cells fuse, to produce spores inside a "fruiting body" such as a mushroom. Spores are tiny cells inside a protective coating. • When fungi reproduces Asexually, they simply make little copies of themselves. ….Yummm

  5. Club Fungi Scientifically known as: Basidiomycota • Club fungi species reproduce sexually by forming spores on top of club-shaped structures called Basidia. • Mushrooms, toadstools, puffballs, jelly fungi, coral fungi. • Hyphae form extensive underground growths. • Consists of three parts: Stalk, Cap, Gills.

  6. Importance Recycling: Club Fungi, together with bacteria, are responsible for most of the recycling which returns dead material to the soil in a form in which it can be reused. Food: Club Fungi are also important directly as food for humans. Many mushrooms are edible and different species are cultivated for sale worldwide. Medicines: Penicillin, perhaps the most famous of all antibiotic drugs, is derived from a common Club Fungus called Penicillium.
