2. Basidiomycota are called club fungi because they produce club-shaped reproductive structures like toadstools.

3. The vegetative body of most fungi is called a hyphae, which consists of an interwoven mass of threadlike filaments called mycelium.

4.  A lichen is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a single-celled alga or cyanobacteria. The fungus protects the photosynthesizer from harsh conditions while consuming the extra nutrients it produces.

5. A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant. The fungus receives energy-rich sugar molecules produced by the plant while passing minerals and nutrients from the soil to the root.

6. Ascomycota, also known as sac fungi, include morels, yeasts, and the species that produces penicillin.
