| 129904573 | Chitin | A structural polysaccharide of an amino sugar found in many fungi. | |
| 129904574 | Mycelium | The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus | |
| 129904575 | Septa | One of the cross-walls that divide a fungal hypha into cells. contains pores large enough to allow ribosomes, mitochondria and nuclei to flow from cell to cell. | |

| 129904583 | Heterokaryon | fungal mycelium formed by two hyphae that have genetically different nuclei. | |
| 129904584 | Dikaryotic | Mycelium with two haploid nuclei per cell, one from each parent. | |
| 129904585 | Karyogamy | the fusion of nuclei of two cells, part of syngamy | |
| 129904586 | Mold | a rapidly growing fungus that reproduces asexually by producing spores | |
| 129904587 | Yeast | single celled fungi that inhabit wet habitats and reproduce asexually by simple division or pinching small buds off a parent cell | |
