Place a small drop of the yeast culture on a slide, dilute it with a drop or two of water, and add a cover slip. Make a wet mount of a mold by adding a drop of 5% KOH to your slide, scraping a small amount of mold onto a razor blade or other tool, and gently depositing it onto the droplet.

Up until the mid-20th century, many scientists classified fungi as plants. Fungi, like plants, arose mostly sessile and seemingly rooted in place. They possess a stem-like structure similar to plants, as well as having a root-like fungal mycelium in the soil. In addition, their mode of nutrition was poorly understood.

Instead of penetrating inside the cell wall, the fungal hyphae surround the plant cells and make a sheath on the exterior of the root.

While scientists have identified about 100,000 species of fungi, this is only a fraction of the 1.5 million species of fungus likely present on Earth. Edible mushrooms, yeasts, black mold, and the producer of the antibiotic penicillin, Penicillium notatum, are all members of the kingdom Fungi, which belongs to the domain Eukarya.

Fungi grow as hyphae, forming mycelium for nutrient absorption and decay, and can be saprophytic, symbiotic, or parasitic. Key groups include Ascomycetes (yeasts and molds), Basidiomycetes (mushrooms), and Zygomycetes (bread molds). It also discusses mycorrhizal fungi aiding glucocorticoid production and chytrids, a primitive aquatic group linked to amphibian population declines. The content is from John W
