http://www.countrysideinfo.co.uk/fungi/types1.htm

Extractions: Types of Fungi Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes Fungi with sporophores (fruiting bodies) large enough to be readily visible will usually belong to one of two main groups. The Basidiomycetes or the Ascomycetes . The main difference between these two groups is in the way in which they produce their microscopic spores. In the Basidiomycetes , the spores are produced externally , on the end of specialised cells called basidia In Ascomycetes , spores are produced internally , inside a sac called an ascus Asci and basidia are both microscopic structures. Basidiomycetes Ascomycetes Fungi with spores produced externally, on specialised cells called basidia. Typically, there are 4 spores per basidium, although this varies from 1 to many, depending on the species. Fungi with spores produced inside a sac called an ascus. Each ascus usually contains 8 spores (sometimes 4, depending on the species). For micrograph pictures of basidia and spores click here (External site) Basidiomycetes Within the Basidiomycetes, there are three main groups. These are separated by means of differences in the basidia and spores and how these are arranged on the fruiting body.

Extractions: Reference Desk Encyclopedia Fungi key , kingdom of heterotrophic single-celled, multinucleated, or multicellular organisms, including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. The organisms live as parasites , symbionts, or saprobes (see saprophyte ). Previously classified in the plant kingdom, fungi are nonmotile, like plants, but lack the vascular tissues (phloem and xylem) that form the true roots, stems, and leaves of plants. Most coenocytic (multinucleated) or multicelluar fungi are composed of multiple filaments, called hyphae, grouped together into a discrete organism called a mycelium. The cell walls of fungi are of chitin or other noncellulose compounds. In many ways fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants, and they have been thought to share a common protist ancestor with animals. A recent classification system suggested by nucleic acid (genetic material) comparisons places the fungi with the animals and the plants in an overarching taxonomic group called the eukarya. Most fungi are capable of asexual and sexual reproduction . Asexual reproduction is by fragmentation or spore formation. Those that reproduce sexually produce gametes in specialized areas of the hyphae called gametangia. The gametes may be released to fuse into spores elsewhere, or the gametangia themselves may fuse.

Extractions: fungi Pretty Fungi, such as the Earthstars and Scarlet Elf Cup , spellbind people. We are attracted by other Fungi such as the bright red Fly Agaric mushroom, and the unusual Bird's Nest fungi. Fungi reproduce by producing spores . These are tiny cells inside a protective coating, which grow into new Fungi. Some fungi can survive times when the weather turns hot and dry, by producing protective coatings for their spores. Fungi is the name given to a strange group of living things including mushrooms, toadstools, moulds and thousands of other weird and wonderful things. It's safe to say that if you see something strange growing outside, and you're not sure what it is, it's probably a fungus. Unlike plants, Fungi cannot produce their own food. Instead they absorb nutrients from their surroundings. Types of Fungi can be very different, for example they can be colourful and jelly-like, brown and slimy, green and dusty or tall and white. They are a truly fascinating group of organisms and have been studied by people for hundreds of years.

A Few Facts About Fungi
fungi affect all aspects of life. Here are some of the things not commonly known about them.
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~gbarron/MISCELLANEOUS/facts.htm

Extractions: Return to SPECIAL OF MONTH A FEW FACTS ABOUT FUNGI 1. In the classification of living things the FUNGI are now recognized as a separate kingdom. 2. It is estimated that there are over a MILLION species of FUNGI but only about 10% have been officially described in the scientific literature. 3. As agents of PLANT DISEASE FUNGI cause annual crop losses in excess of THREE BILLION dollars annually in North America. 4. Along with the plants themselves, FUNGI are THE major players in the CARBON CYCLE A. SAPROPHYTIC FUNGI are the primary agents responsible for the biodegradation of plants and woody debris (cellulose and lignified cellulose). EIGHTY-FIVE BILLION tons of carbon is returned annually to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide by decay of cellulose and lignified cellulose. Most of this is by fungi. B. MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI form intimate associations (MUTUALISTIC SYMBIOSIS ) with the roots of higher plants. The fungal hyphae function in place of root hairs for the absorption of water and minerals. These mycorrhizal fungi can also protect the roots from attack by other fungi. Each forest tree has hundreds of thousands of kilometres of hyphae supplying it with water and inorganic salts. In return the tree supplies the fungus with sugars (carbohydrates) manufactured in its leaves. 5. BEVERAGES.

Extractions: Body Plans and Nutritional Mode Classification of Fungi Chytridiomycota Zygomycota ... Fungi are almost entirely multicellular (with yeast, Saccharomyces cerviseae , being a prominent unicellular fungus), heterotrophic (deriving their energy from another organism, whether alive or dead), and usually having some cells with two nuclei ( multinucleate , as opposed to the more common one, or uninucleate , condition) per cell. Ecologically this kingdom is important (along with certain bacteria) as decomposers and recyclers of nutrients. Economically, the Fungi provide us with food (mushrooms; Bleu cheese/Roquefort cheese; baking and brewing), antibiotics (the first of the wonder drugs, penicillin, was isolated from the fungus Penicillium ), and crop parasites (doing several million dollars per year of damage). Fungi are also important aiders of plant root function, as mycorrizhae . Examples of this diverse group are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Examples of fungi.

President's Day was originally celebrated on George Washington's birthday, Feburary 22nd. Coincidently another great president, Abraham Lincoln, was also born in Feburary. Traditionally Americans celebrated Washington's birthday on Feb. 22nd no matter what day of the week it fell on. In 1968 there was federal legislation passed to make the holiday fall on the 3rd Monday of Feburary. This was done to honor both Washington and Lincoln as well as all of the President's since. Probably the real reason to change President's Day to third Monday of Feburary was to give federal employees a three day weekend, which I'm sure a lot of people appreaciate. As some of you know, currency or money can often carry very small particles on its surface. Through a number of studies it has been shown that anywhere from 75% to 97% of one dollar bills contain detectable amounts of cocaine! At first these numbers seem staggering, but further investigation has pinpointed the culprit of most of the contamination to ATM machines and other money counting devices. One bill that has been in contact with cocaine can contaminate hundreds of other bills it touches in an ATM machine.

http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/f/fungi-37.html

Extractions: Botanical.com Home Page Fungi are those plants which are colourless; they have no green chlorophyll within them, and it is this green substance which enables the higher plants to build up, under the influence of sunlight, the starches and sugars which ultimately form our food. Having no chlorophyll, fungi cannot use the energy of the sun and must therefore adopt another method of life. They either live as parasites on other living plants or animals, or they live on decaying matter. In either case they derive their energy by breaking up highly complex substances and, when these are broken up in the living plant, the living plant suffers. Many Fungi, such as the bacteria, are microscopic; others form visible growths, from moulds and mildews to the familiar mushroom and toadstools they in crease in size and conspicuousness. Fungi differ from flowering plants in theirchemical influence upon the air. They absorb oxygen and exhale carbonic acid, performing the same office in this respect as animals, which they most resemble in chemical composition. The odours they emit in decay are more like putrescent animal than vegetable matter. Some species, e.g., the Stinkhorns, emit a most intolerably offensive stench; others, on the contrary, are very agreeable to the smell and some 'toadstools' acquire in drying a fine aroma. They are quite as variable to the taste. Numerically, Fungi rank next to flowering plants and in many portions of the globe far exceed them. In Great Britain, indeed, we have just over 5,000 species of Fungi, which number exceeds that of our flowering plants, ferns, mosses, lichens and algae all added together.
Truffle-like Fungi In Australia

Extractions: Plants, animals and spore dispersal The truffle-like fungi differ from the bulk of the fungi discussed on this website, in that the truffle-like fruiting bodies are generally produced underground and have lost the ability to forcibly discharge their spores. The truffle-like fungi have been better studied than many other fungal groups in Australia - but 'better studied' does not mean 'thoroughly known'. Each year, field work reveals more species and is exposing a surprising richness of those fungi in this country. At this point it's worth reminding you that macrofungal ascomycetes and basidiomycetes SEE TWO MAJOR GROUPS SECTION ) are the focus of this website, so only the ascomycete and basidiomycete truffle-like fungi will feature here. There are various other truffle-like fungi that won't be dealt with here.
