PPT Slide

Development

• no embryology - direct development into

new haploid hyphae or cells from spores

Reproduction

• mostly sexual; mating-types conjugate

• exchange nuclei, which do not fuse,often for much of life of mycelium - dikaryon

• eventual nuclear fusion -> zygote ->

+/- immediate meiosis -> haploid spores

in fruiting bodies - mushrooms, toadstools
