Spores �Most fungi reproduce with spores.

Yeast �Yeast is almost everywhere. �Yeasts grow by budding. �Just like animals they give off carbon dioxide which makes bread rise and causes ‘holes’ in our bread.

Mushrooms �They have a cap, gills, stipe �Under the cap is where you cab find gills and pores.

Other types of fungi �Hyphae are strands that are much smaller than human hair. �When you peel away bark from a dead tree the white hyphae are sometimes visible.

Cups, puffballs, Earthstars �It is a diverse kingdom. �They are said by some scientists to be the largest living organisms in the world because the hyphae can grow so long. �There about 75, 000 different species of fungi. �They appeared about 400 million years ago.
