| 981468547 | yeasts | single celled fungi | |
| 981468548 | hyphae | network of tiny filaments | |
| 981468549 | chitin | nitrogen-containing polysaccaride that strengthen fungal cell walls | |
| 981468550 | mycelium | interwoven mass of fungal hyphae | |
| 981468551 | septa | cross-walls dividing fungal cells in hyphae | |
| 981468552 | coenocytic fungi | fungus that consists of continuous cytoplasmic mass, similar to plasmodial slime mold | |
| 981468553 | haustoria | specialized hyphae used to extract nutrients from, or exchange nutrients with, their plant hosts | |
| 981468554 | mycorrhizae | mutualistic relationships between fungi and plants | |
| 981468555 | ectomycorrhizal fungi | form sheats of hyphae over the surface of a root and grow into the extracellular spaces of the root cortex | |
| 981468556 | arbusucular mycorrhizal fungi | extend branching hyphae through root cell wall and into tubes formed by invagination (pushing inward) of the root cell plasma membrane hyphae penetrate root cells | |
| 981468557 | spores | haploid cells that form new mycelia after germinating | |
| 981468558 | pheromones | sexual signaling molecules | |
| 981468559 | plasmogamy | union of cytoplasms of two parent mycelia | |
| 981468560 | heterokaryon | mycelium after plasmogamy, containing coexisting, genetically different nuclei | |
| 981468561 | dikaryotic | mycelium that contains two different haploid nuclei, keep two separate haploid nuclei instead of one diploid set | |
| 981468562 | karyogamy | fusion of haploid nuclei, producing diploid cells | |
| 981468563 | mold | fungi that reproduce asexually by growing as filamentous fungi that produce (haploid) spores by mitosis | |
| 981468564 | deuteromycetes | group of fungi with unknown sexual reproduction | |
| 981468565 | opisthokonts | clade made up of fungi, animals, and some protists | |
| 981468566 | chytrids | fungi in the phylum Chytridiomycota, found in freshwater and terrestrial habitat, can be saprobic (decomposer) or parasitic, possess zoospores | |
| 981468567 | zoospores | flagellated spores in chytrids | |
| 981468568 | Zygomycetes | fungi in the phylum Zygomycota, named for their sexually produce zygosporangia | |
| 981468569 | Rhizopus stolonifer | zygomycete | |
| 981468570 | zygosporanigum | structure produced by plasmogamy, in which karyogamy and meiosis occurs | |
| 981468571 | Pilobolus | zygomycete, can "aim" sporangia toward conditions associated with good food sources | |
| 981468572 | Microsporidia | unicellular parasites of animals and protists, now classified as zygomycetes | |
| 981468573 | glomeromycetes | fungi in phylum Glomeromycota, form arbusucular mycorrhizae | |
| 981468574 | ascomycetes | fungi in phylum Ascomycota, defined by the production of sexual spores in saclike asci | |
| 981468575 | asci | spore-forming structures in ascomycetes, kept within ascocarp | |
| 981468576 | ascocarp | fruiting body with asci inside | |
| 981468577 | conidia | asexual spores produced by ascomycetes | |
| 981468578 | basidiomycetes | fungi in phylum Basdiomycota, includes mushrooms and shelf fungi, defined by club-like structure called a basidium, | |
| 981468579 | basidium | cell in which karyogamy occurs, followed immediately by meiosis | |
| 981468580 | basidiocarps | elaborate fruiting bodies created by basidiomycetes to reproduce sexually | |
| 981468581 | endophytes | fungi that live inside leaves or other plant parts without causing harm | |
| 981468582 | lichen | symbiotic association between a photosynthetic microorganism and a fungus (usually ascomycete) in which millions of photosynthetic cells are held in a mass of fungal hyphae | |
| 981468583 | soredia | small clusters of hyphae with embedded algae | |
| 981468584 | mycosis | general term for an infection caused by a fungal parasite |
