Fungi (mushrooms)

Mushrooms are classified into:

1. Zygomicotina

Fungi with hyphae not insulated, are senositik (many cells in a cell). In its life cycle occurs while the formation of dormant structures called zigospora.

2. Ascomycotina (poisonous mushrooms)

Hyphae and senositik insulated and there is a single-celled, spore-forming device called an ascus (in the form of bubbles or cells where the formation of tube askospora). example:

- Saccaromyces cerevisiae = manufacture of tape

- Saccaromyces ovale = manufacture of wine

- Pennicelium camemberti = improved quality of cheese

- Pennicelium roqeberti = improved quality of cheese

- Pennicelium notatum  = Producing penicillin 

- Pennicelium chrysogenum  = Producing penicillin 

3. Basidiomycotina (mushrooms berbasidium)

Form a macroscopic fungi, little is mikrokopis, mycelial hyphae sectional form, vegetative hyphae have a haploid nuclei (n). example:

- Ustilago (smuts) = parasite on corn

- Puccinia graminis (rust fungus) = parasite on gramineae

- Auricularia polytricha (mushroom) = can be eaten

- Volvariella volvacea (straw mushroom) = can be eaten.

4. Deuteromycetes (fungi imperfecti  = fungus is not perfect)

Having a breakout hyphae, fungal sexual reproduction is by vegetative spores, conidia. Many of this class of fungi causing skin diseases (dermatomikosis). example:

- Monila sithopila / fungus Neurospora sithopila = oncom

- Aspergillus wentii = manufacture of soy sauce

- Aspergillus flavus = poison aflatoxin

- Aspergillus oryzae = sake brewing or alcohol

- Aspergillus fumigtus = lung disease of animals or humans

- Chladosporium and Curvularia saproba = parasitic plants.
