Which fungal phylum includes the black bread mould Rhizopus stolonifer and the dung-infesting fungi of the genus Pilobolus?

Which fungal phylum includes members that create a special, resistant zygospore during sexual reproduction?

Match each term with the most closely associated fungal phylum. Each phylum may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -arbuscular mycorrhizae

In eastern Oregon, the mycelium of a single individual Armillaria ostoyae covers an area of 8.9 km². Which fungal phylum does it belong to?

Suppose that you discover a fungus that makes both sexual and asexual spores. Suppose also that the sexual spores are made in groups of eight within a structure that bursts open to release the spores. And the structures containing sexual spores are found within a multicellular structure that is about 13 cm tall. Into which group should you classify this fungus?

Molecular relationships and other studies have allowed for many conidial fungi to be reclassified into a fungal phylum. Which fungal phylum are most of these reclassified conidial fungi now assigned to?

Which fungal phylum has the most known living species?

Describe the major roles of fungi that affect humans and their environment.

What term refers to the process in fungi that allows nutrients to flow from food-absorbing parts of the fungal body to other non-absorptive parts?

Which fungal phylum includes organisms that are of significant value to humans, such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, antibiotic-producing species of Penicillium, truffles, and morels?
