Warm up # 9,
Where would you look to find fungus spores in the mushroom? What do the chemicals that ooze from the hyphae of a fungus in the food source do?
The answers are: the mushroom cap, and they help break down the food.

We took notes on fungi. Fungi are eukaryotic, mlticellular and they reproduce by spores. Some of the fungi are used in food such as yeast, while some cause diseases. Penicillin, an antibiotic is used to kill bacteria. We also discussed the different types of fungus such as: clublike, threadlike, saclike, and imperfect fungi. We then read ch 7, sec 3 in the text book.
We also took observations on the algae experiments.

There is a notebook quiz on Monday, and the chapter 7 test is Tuesday.
