When this happens, they will attach themselves to these surfaces. Most fungi do not move. Fungi can’t move around so they make spores that are like seeds.

Spores Fly Away On The Breeze Or In Water On Animals Or Clothing And Find A New Place To Grow That Has Everything They Need.


However, there are species, such as pilobulos, that forcibly discharge their spores. How do fungi move around the body? How are fungi not like plants?

The Two Main Ways That Fungi Spread Around The Body Are Through Inhalation And Via Contact With Any Of Its Many Surface Areas.


Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores. The most common mode of asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores, which are produced by one parent only (through mitosis) and are genetically identical to that parent. For example the cell walls of fungi are made of chitin not cellulose.

Spores Fly Away On The Breeze Or In Water, On Animals Or Clothing And Find A New Place To Grow That Has Everything They Need.


Most fungi do not move. Spores fly away on the breeze or in water, on animals or clothing and find a new place to grow that has everything they need. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies.

Fungi Absorb Nutrients From Plant Or Animal Matter Around Them Which May Be Living Or Dead.


Imagine you were as tiny as fungal hyphae, with no legs or wings or other ways of moving. Fungi can’t move around so they make spores that are like seeds. How do fungi eat and grow?

Today Fungi Are No Longer Classified As Plants.


Fungi secure food through the action of enzymes (biological catalysts) secreted into the surface on which they are growing the enzymes digest the food which then is absorbed directly through the hyphal walls. If you have food, water and o 2, you can grow from the ends of the hyphae and maybe branch and grow off in different directions. Also fungi absorb nutrients from other organisms whereas plants make their own food.
