Chapter 1 and 2 [Long quiz 1]

• What do you call the cross-walls that divide hyphal cells?

  Septum
• Coenocytic = Coeno (koinos = shared) + Cytic (kytos/cyte = Cell)
• Dolipore septa are primarily associated with the phylum, Basidiomycota
• Which phylum contains jelly fungi, rusts, smuts, and some yeasts?

  Basidiomycota
• Spores produced under the phylum, Basidiomycota are called Basidiospores
• The subphylum, Ustilaginomycotina, belongs to the phylum, Basidiomycota
• The subphylum, Ustilaginomycotina, is referred to as "Smuts" or plant pathogens
• The subphylum, Pucciniomycotina, is also known as "Rust Fungi"
• The hymenium is a "spore-producing tissue" found in Basidiocarps
• Puffballs fall under which order (taxonomy)?

  Agaricales
• Which phylum has the most described species?

  Ascomycetes
• Conidia are asexual spores produced during the Anamorphic stage
• "Apothecia" refers to open-cup shaped ascocarps
• "Perithecia" refers to flask-shaped ascocarps
• "Cleistothecia" refers to closed ascocarps
• "Pseudothecia" resemble Perithecial ascocarps, but differ in asci arrangements
• Dehiscence refers to the mechanism on how ascospores are released.
• "Operculate" describes a type of fungal ascus that has a lid or cover called the Operculum
• "Inoperculate" describes a type of fungal ascus that has no opening. The ascus apex must be broken to release spores.
• Fungal ascus structure that is typically only associated with Apothecial ascocarps?

  Operculate
