examples of zygote fungi
One example is Rhizopus stolonifer, which belongs to a group called the zygote fungi. Zygote fungi are mostly terrestrial and live in soil or on decaying plant and animal material. When food is available, the fungus's hyphae spread out over the food and absorb nutrients.sexual reproduction in sac fungi produces an enormous number of spores. These asexual spores are formed externally in long chains or clusters at the tips of specialized hyphae. Also like zygote fungi, sexual reproduction in sac fungi involves the joining of two genetically different mycelia.
Common black bread mold is a zygote fungi, and all of the mycorrhizae are zygote fungi, or zygomycetes (the suffix-mycete means fungus.) They all are composed only of hyphae, which gives rise to another common name for this phylum: the Threadlike Fungi.ommon black bread mold is a zygote fungi, and all of the mycorrhizae are zygote fungi, or zygomycetes (the suffix-mycete means fungus.)
