In this article we will discuss about the classification of fungi. The classification of fungi is still in a state of flux. A stable and ideal system of classification is yet to be proposed. Many systems have been proposed from time to time by mycologists. With the advancement of knowledge newer systems are proposed while the older ones are discarded. [...]
The below mentioned article provides biology notes on lower fungi. They have comparatively a simple thallus which in some is unicellular and in others filamentous (mycelium). The septa usually remain suppressed in the actively growing vegetative mycelium. They reproduce asexually by sporangiospores (generally motile, rarely non-motile), rarely by conidia. The early mycologists placed the lower fungi in a single class [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of slime mold with the help of a suitable diagram. The life cycle of an endogenous slime mold such as Physarum starts with the germination of a meiospore under favourable conditions. One to four uninucleate haploid biflagellate swarm cells or myxamoebae are released through a slit or pore; the former [...]
