3. are among the edible fungi most prized by mushroom hunters.
5. each of the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus.
6. are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae
8. The Fungi imperfecti or imperfect fungi, also known as Deuteromycota, are fungi which do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological
10. Any one of several kinds of roundish, subterranean fungi, usually of a blackish colour.
12. is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. All plants, fungi, and many other lineages form sporangia at some point in their life cycle.
15. a condition in which certain fungi infect the tissues. It most commonly affects the lungs, owing to inhalation of spores from moldy hay, and is then informally called farmer's lung.
16. is a division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with the Basidiomycota, form the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. They are the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64,000 species.
17. a blue mold that is common on food, being added to some cheeses and used sometimes to produce penicillin.

1. the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a network of fine white filaments
2. a division of the soil fungi consisting of soil saprobes and invertebrate parasites
4. a minute, typically one-celled, reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion, characteristic of lower plants, fungi, and protozoans.
7. a specialized hypha bearing sporangia.
9. poisoning produced by eating food affected by ergot, typically resulting in headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and gangrene of the fingers and toes
11. a simple slow-growing plant that typically forms a low crust-like, leaflike, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees.
13. In land plants, rhizoids are trichomes that anchor the plant to the ground. In the liverworts, they are absent or unicellular, but multicelled in mosses. In vascular plants they are often called root hairs, and may be unicellular or multicellular
14. a spore produced asexually by various fungi at the tip of a specialized hypha
16. usually contain eight ascospores, produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division.
18. Chytridiomycota is a division of zoosporic organisms in the kingdom Fungi, informally known as chytrids. The name is derived from the Greek χυτρίδιον chytridium, meaning "little pot", describing the structure containing unreleased zoospores.
