fungi like molds, such as slime mold, or possibly water mold.


What are 10 examples of fungi like protists?

These protists share many characteristivd with Fungi. However, because of their differences from Fungi they are classified as protists. Funguslike protists play a valuable role in the ecosystem. They break down dead plant and animal matter, making the nutrients from these dead orgainsms available for living organisms. While some slime molds and water molds are benefical, many others can be very harmful. Many fuguslike protsts attack and consume living plants.


Does water effect molding?

Molds and fungi are found everywhere inside and outside, and can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present. Molds when they reproduce make spores, which can be carried by air currents.


Are slime molds and water molds fungi?

No, fungi are separated from them based on their plate-like cristae in the mitochondria, the possession of a single, posterior, whiplash flagellum (in some forms), synthesis of lysine by the AAA pathway, the use of glycogen as a storage compound, and the presence of the Spitzenkorper in actively growing hyphae. Water molds (assuming you are referring to the oomycetes) have heterokont flagella--one whiplash and one tinsel--tubular cristae in the mitochondria, and the DAA pathway for lysine synthesis. Slime molds engulf their food, which fungi do not. They also have 1-4 anteriorly directed flagella.


What conditions are necessary for fungi spores to germinate?

The area fungus need to grow in usually a damp, moist humid area. Fungi include molds, mushrooms and yeasts and they all have different growing conditions. They all do need moisture, but they also require nutrients. Yeasts and molds grow on sugars primarily. Molds especially like acidic environments. Mushrooms will grow on dead organic material.


How is a water mold organism defined?

Water molds are also known as oomycetes. They are microorganisms similar to fungi, but they are not classified as a fungus. These microorganisms reproduce both sexually and asexually.
