  3. Hypha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypha

    (10) Plasma membrane. (11) Spitzenkörper. (12) Golgi apparatus Hyphae growing on tomato sauce (the pale oblong objects to the side are rice grains) Aspergillus niger Conidia on conidiophores. A hypha (from Ancient Greek ὑφή (huphḗ) 'web'; pl.: hyphae) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium. [1]

  4. Mucorales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucorales

    Mucoralean fungi are typically fast-growing, and their wide hyphae (long, filamentous structures) lack septa (multi-perforate septa are present only in sporangiophores and gametangia). The hyphae grow mostly within the substrate. Sporangiophores are upright (simple or ramified) hyphae, that support sac-like sporangia filled with asexual ...

  5. Mucoromycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucoromycota

    It includes a diverse group of various molds, including the common bread molds Mucor and Rhizopus. [2] It is a sister phylum to Dikarya. [3] [4] Informally known as zygomycetes I, Mucoromycota includes Mucoromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Glomeromycotina, and consists of mainly mycorrhizal fungi, root endophytes, and plant decomposers.

  6. Mycelial cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycelial_cord

    Mycelial cords are linear aggregations of parallel-oriented hyphae. The mature cords are composed of wide, empty vessel hyphae surrounded by narrower sheathing hyphae. Cords may look similar to plant roots, and also frequently have similar functions; hence they are also called rhizomorphs (literally, "root-forms"). As well as growing ...

  7. Mucor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucor

    Mucor species can be differentiated from molds of the genera Absidia, Rhizomucor, and Rhizopus by the shape and insertion of the columella, and the lack of stolons and rhizoids. Some Mucor species produce chlamydospores. They form mold with irregular non-septate hyphae branching at wide angles (>90°).

  8. Saprotrophic nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_nutrition

    The network of hyphae (the mycelium) is fundamental to fungal nutrition. Look up saprotroph in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Saprotrophic nutrition / s æ p r ə ˈ t r ɒ f ɪ k , - p r oʊ -/ [ 1 ] or lysotrophic nutrition [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or ...
