Most familiar types of mushrooms, along with puffballs and shelf fungi, are found in the Phylum ___________.
The distinctive flavor of certain cheeses is due to Fungi (and Bacteria).
A Mushroom is the vegetative reproductive Structure of Fungi in the Phylum _____.
Taxonomists classify Fungi based upon their Sexual Reproductive Structures.
Fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with the root system of vascular plants are known as ______________.
A Puffball is a type of fungus found in the Phylum __________.
Which Phylum is made up exclusively of Fungi that form symbioses with plant roots?
__________ is used by companies to make bread rise and to produce alcohol.
Fungi
AscomycotaExplanation / Answer
Answer 1.
Puffballs, and shelf fungi, both are Basidiomycota. These produce spores in fungi.
Answer 2.
The statement is true. Flavor of cheese is due to fungi and bacteria. Different fungi and bacteria have different tastes and flavors. The fungi, Penicillium tastes earthy, Galactomyces tastes sweet and buttery. Similarly, the bacterium Serratia gives a cabbage like flavor to cheese.
Answer 3.
The best classification of fungus is on the basis of morphological characteristics; these include size and shape of spores, and fruiting bodies and their color. However, certain taxonomists have classified fungi on the basis of their sexual reproductive structures. Apart from this, biochemical and physiological characteristics is another method of classifying the fungi.
So, the question stands weird and incorrect.
Alternatively, you can say that the answer is ‘true’; because there is a fungal classification on the basis of sexual reproductive structures.
Answer 4.
Such fungi are known as Mycorrhizae.
Note that ‘mykos’ means ‘fungi’ and ‘rhiza’ means ‘root’ (in Greek). This is a type of symbiotic association between root system of higher plants and fungi.
