What is the scientific definition for fungi?

Answer 1

sing. fungus

this is whta i learned abought fungus.

Lichens are underground. They reproduce by sporangium. The tree different types are fungi like, animal like, plant like. I think there are 5 different kinds of fungi here they are. One is club that would be mushrooms. Another one is sac fungi an example would be mold ect. One of the other is zygote fungi. That makes alcohol and wine, well it fertile it, it also makes carbon dioxide witch they use to make bread rise such as yeast. The last one is imperfect fungi, and yes there are only four that I could think of. The thing that imperfect fungi makes is well doesn't makes but causes athletes foot the thing we all hate. Those are what I think they are I might not be completely right. But I know those are all true. Club fungi use curves to produce. That is the thing when you look under the mushroom. Zygote fungi I think reproduces by sporangium. Then I forget witch one but one of them reproduces by budding. Just like in figure 12. Haha that all might not be right but one of them uses budding. I also learned that you are not allowed well not allowed is not true you are not suppose to eat wild fungi because it might be piousness. I also know there is a type or all of them break down or eat dead organisms. That is helpful because if they didn't the whole world would be full of sewage, and dead animals.

Fungi are spore bearing organism that lack chlorophyll and reproduce by sexual and asexual method

Answer 2

Fungi is the word used to describe a whole group of organisms, just like "animals", "plants" or "bacteria". In fungi we can find mushrooms, toadstools, yeasts, molds and more.

According to the newest classification, fungi are eukaryotic (genetic material surrounded by a membrane, i.e nucleus), haploid (only one set of cromosomes) or diploid (two sets of cromosomes) that make zygotic meiosis. Fungi are conjugating organisms, they fuse their cells in an arrengement called hypha. All the cell walls in fungi are primarily built with a molecule called chitin, but some have cellulose (like plants and some algae).

All fungi reproduce by spores, all of them posses an asexual phase, but not every fungi is known to posses sexual phase. Also, fungi lack an autotrophic metabolism, instead, all fungi are heterochemiotrophic organisms, that is, they use organic and, minorly, inorganic molecules to produce their energy.
Fungus (plural) refers to any member of a group of eukaryotic organisms like yeasts and molds

Answer 3

The kingdom of organisms that includes the yeasts, molds, mildews, and mushrooms.
