which genus of fungi contains purple mushrooms that are deadly poisonous and
can be confused with blewits? - ANSWER cotinarius
what are the structures that hold spores on the gills? - ANSWER basidia
what is the safest way to distinguish the edible blewit from poisonous purple
mushrooms? - ANSWER make a spore print; poisonous ones are rusty brown
what are basidiospore called when they are forcibly discharged? - ANSWER
ballistospores
name of inky cap and what is the importance? - ANSWER coprinus
autodigestion
blewit mushrooms - ANSWER love cold weather
often found in piles of wood chip, grass clippings, or other dead plant matter
are known as clitocybe nuda or lepista nuda
characteristics of wind dispersed spores - ANSWER small, dry, lightweight
abundantly produced
long lived - dark, thick cell walls
short lived - thin, clear cell walls
among the fungi, bioluminescence is limited to wood rotting species that
decompose lignin
T/F? - ANSWER true
'toothpaste spores' dispersal method - ANSWER rain splash
it has been hypothesized that some fungi are bioluminescent - ANSWER to
attract arthropods at night for increased spore dispersal
to give off a side product for wood degradation
, to act as a warning signal to prevent the mushrooms from being eaten
fungi that use rain splash dispersal - ANSWER gummy stem blight
bird's nest fungi
which organisms are most closely related to fungi? - ANSWER flies and humans
(animals)
where do aero-aquatic fungi live? - ANSWER small ponds and vernal pools
characteristics of fungi - ANSWER cells with nucleus
unique cell wall chemistry
simple morphology
reproduce sexually and asexually
what are hyphae? - ANSWER tubular cells that make up fungi
what animal disperses false truffles? - ANSWER potoroo
what domain are fungi members of? - ANSWER eukarya
what fungus uses self propelled dispersal methods? - ANSWER pilobolus -
fastest organism in the world
how are oomycota different from true fungi? - ANSWER cell walls of cellulose
swimming spores with 2 different kinds of flagella
what are zoospores? - ANSWER spores found in oomycetes, chytrids, and
cryptomycota that are motile and have flagella
fungal diseases in cacao plant - ANSWER black pod disease
witch's broom disease
frosty pod disease
environmental conditions that favor fungus growth - ANSWER somewhat
subdued sunlight
between 32-90F
