Study Notes

Taxonomy Classification of Fungi

Fungi are classified using a hierarchical taxonomy: Domain > Supergroup > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species.

Rhizopus (Sporangia)

Belongs to the Domain Eukarya, Supergroup Unikonta, Clade Opisthokonts.
Characterized by the presence of sporangia, which are structures that produce spores.

Rhizopus (Zygosporangia)

Also categorized under Domain Eukarya, Supergroup Unikonta, Clade Opisthokonts.
Notable for zygosporangia, a thick-walled structure formed during sexual reproduction that contains zygotes.

Peziza (Ascomycota)

Falls under Domain Eukarya, Supergroup Unikonta, Clade Opisthokonts, and Subclade Ascomycota.
Recognized for its cup-shaped fruiting body, typically housing ascospores.

Coprinus

Classified within Domain Eukarya, Supergroup Unikonta, Clade Opisthokonts.
Known for its unique gilled structure, often referred to as "shaggy ink cap."

Lichen

Located in Domain Eukarya, Supergroup Unikonta, Clade Amoebozoa.
Represents a symbiotic association between fungi and photosynthetic organisms, such as algae or cyanobacteria, resulting in unique ecological adaptations.
