	Fungi - MSN Encarta
		Fungi that are intimately associated with roots of higher plants form mycorrhiza, a specialized type of hyphal growth in which a portion of the mycelium either wraps itself around the tips of roots, forming a velvety white cover, or penetrates into the cortex of the root.
		The morels, truffles, and cup fungi are well-known ascomata, with asci borne at the upper surface.
		Tooth fungi, Hydnaceae, have the hymenium on spiny outgrowths.

		Fungi are heterotrophic (they do not produce their own energy like plants) and obtain energy from complex food, like dead or living plants and animal tissue.
		Fungi are most important as they are able to degrade lignin (the most durable component in wood).
		Fungi hair-like filaments invade dead plant matter, and are sometimes parasitic on tree roots.

	BIO 5 GENERAL BIOLOGY
		Fungi are able to effectively digest food externally because, in all fungi but yeast, the organism consists of long, thread-like structures called hyphae which surround and grow into the food source, living or dead.
		These fungi are often beneficial since they contribute to the decomposition of dead organism and the recycling of organic molecules contained in them.
		The feeding stage of fungi is generally not visible to people since the hyphae are microscopic and are contained within the food, living or dead.

	Golden moldies: treasured by aficionados, fungi remain mostly anonymous subjects of distant kingdoms, underappreciated ...
		Fungi play a vital role in the web of life by taking apart the complex but specialized molecules assembled by plants and animus and recovering the basic molecular building blocks in a form that future generations can use.
		Fungi were once united as a taxonomic kingdom by such common features as nucleated cells, the absence of chlorophyll, and reproduction by spores.
		For some fungi, reproduction proceeds by way of mushrooms, which bear spores on their gills, or by way of puffballs--the relatively large structures that produce millions of spores in dry, powdery masses, to be whisked away by a breeze.

	Cubberla-Witton - Fungi
		Fungi are powerful and important recyclers breaking down decaying plant matters.
		Specific types of fungi are found in the vicinity of certain trees with which they form a symbiotic relationship.
		These are formed on the surface of gills, inside tubes, in sac-like bodies, on smooth surfaces of some fungi, or in a slimy smelly mass on the outside of fruiting bodies.

	Fungi
		Fungi are fundamental to the success and health of every terrestrial ecosystem, and essential to the sustainability of biodiversity.
		Fungi are present almost everywhere, in a spectacular array of shapes, sizes and colours, and performing a wide variety of different activities.
		Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the processes of nutrient capture and recycling for most higher plants in low nutrient soils, as they assist in the acquisition of scarce nutrients and improve their absorption by the plant.

	Coral Microbial Ecology
		Coral microbial ecology is the study of the relationship of coral-associated microorganisms to each other, the coral host, and to their environment.
		Corals secrete a surface layer of mucus, which functions to keep the coral surface clean of sediment and to capture prey.
		Endolithic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, or algae that bore into the coral's calcium carbonate skeleton) are a potential source of nutrients to the overlying tissues.

		The coral tooth fungus has a relatively short lifespan because the logs on which it is found often rot after just a few years (2).
		As is the case with most of our threatened fungi, we must discover more about the ecology of this species if we are to be in a position to conserve it (2).

		Fungi in contrast are well suited to growth in dry, well defined environments such as on the surfaces of dead plants or within well-drained soil.
		fungi are competitive with bacteria when conditions are (i) drier, (ii) of higher osmotic pressure, (iii) more acidic, (iv) lower in nitrogen, and (v) when only weird carbohydrates are available.

		The hermatypic corals obtain much of their nutrient requirement from symbiotic unicellular algae called zooxanthellae, and so are dependent upon growing in sunlight.
		Corals breed by spawning, with many corals of the same species in a region releasing gametes simultaneously over a period of one to several nights around a full moon.
		Corals are major contributors to the physical structure of coral reefs that develop only in tropical and subtropical waters.

	Coral fungi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coral fungi (also called antler fungi by some) are mushrooms that are so named due to their resemblance to aquatic coral or antlers.
		A number of coral fungi are edible, but some (such as Ramaria flava) have been reported to have strong laxative effects though they are palatable [1][2].
		They should be cropped while young; when old, these fungi are fibrous or dry and woody.

		The drought in Africa may be partly to blame for a decline in the coral in the Caribbean Sea, according to a team of researchers who found coral-damaging fungi in dust blown across the ocean.
		Major episodes of Caribbean coral mortality occurred in 1983 and 1987, which were also the two years of the greatest dust movement, Shinn pointed out.
		Coral damage, including bleaching of corals, has also been attributed to rising water temperatures and the team agreed that this is probably also a factor.

		This coral fungus (Ramaria sp.) grows in very damp areas that are well-shaded by the forest canopy, for example near water courses in the lowlands.
