Septa
Crosswalls of hyphae, separating the hyphae into separate cells

Coenocytic fungi
Continuous cytoplasmic mass containing hundreds of thousands of nuclei
-
Exoenzymes
The enzymes secreted into the environment to digest and decay the organic material, which is then absorbed.
-
Mycorrhizae
Mutually beneficial relationships between fungi with haustoria and plant roots

Haustoria
Specialized hyphae that enables the fungus to penetrate the tissue of their host
-
Pheremones
Sexual signaling molecules used by fungi
-
Plasmogamy
Cytoplasm of teo parent mycelia combine
-
Karyogamy
Haploid nuclei cibtributed by both parents fuse, producing diploid cells
-
Mold
Typically has a furry texture, and grows extremely quickly, and reproduces asexually
