Why would mold spread more and faster than

mushrooms?□Mushroom spores drop to the ground from the cap

□Mold spores burst out of the fruiting body into the air

How are the hyphae of mold and mushrooms different?

Mold’s hyphae are visable on the surface of objects

Mushroom’s hyphae are not visable because it is underground

□ difficult to treat.

□Plant:□ caused by fungi include rusts, smuts,

and leaf, root, and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops.

Helpful uses□Drugs made from fungi cure diseases

and stop the rejection of transplanted hearts and other organs.

□Fungi are also grown in large vats to produce flavorings for cooking, vitamins and enzymes for removing stains.

□Bread, cheese, yogurt
