Phylum Glomeromycota
Mycorrhizae; commonly found on tree roots; can't survive without a hose plant; can asexually reproduce
Phylum Basidiomycota
club fungi: mushrooms, puffballs, rusts; club shaped reproductive organ; underside filled with gills which gold basidia and spores, most of the body is underground and the fruiting body (the mushroom) pops up.
Phylum Ascomycota
Sac Fungi: yeats, morels, truffels; body called ascocarp, some very important in medicine (i.e. penicillin for athlete's foot)
Phylum Chytridiomycota
Chytrids; long, thing stems with balls on top; protozoan-like cell with singular posterior flagellum, reproduce with motile zoospore, common in lakes and ponds and many are parasitic
Phylum Zygomycota
bread molds; form reproductive forms called zygospores which sporangia germinate from
Phylum Bryophyta
mosses; lack vascular tissue and rely primarily on diffusion, limited to moist environments, lack a true root system, not free living.
Phylum Lycophyta
club moss; small plants on forest floor; grows on other plants (epiphytes); some are homosporous and some are heterosporous
Phylum Sphenophyta
horesetails; closely related to ferns; grows in waste places such as the side of the road; leaves are like a flattened stem; tracheophyte
Phylum Psilophyta
whisk ferns; not actually ferns but closely related; currently nearly extinct; lack true leaves/roots; tracheophyte
Phylum Pterophyta
ferns; abundant; many are edible; leaf blade is known as a frond and leaflets are pinnae; develop sporangia on the underside of the leaves; clusters of sporangia are called sori; tracheophyte
Phylum Hepaticophytaliverworts; plants lack vascular tissue; looks like a flat, scaly leaf with prominent lobes in the shape of a liver; used to treat liver disease in middle agesPhylum Anthocerophytahornworts; lack vascular tissue; gametophytes look like liver worts but instead release a moss-like sporophyte; closely related to mosses; symbiotic with 2 types of cyanobacteriaPhylum Cycadophytacycads; palm like shrubs and trees; crowns of very thick leafy atop unbranched stems; cones are usually large in relation to plant, wind pollinated; gymnospermPhylum Ginkophytaonly 1 species; cultivated by the Chinese and Japanese; name comes from leavesPhylum Gnetophytaodd group of xerophytes (adapted to arid conditions); closely related to conifers; gymnospermsPhylum Coniferophytaconifers; needle shaped leaves; most are evergreens; sporangia are on underside of strobilus; seeds and pollen released in cones; gymnospermsPhylum Anthophytaflowering plantsPhylum Acrasiomycotacellular slime molds; spend most of their life as amoeboid cells feeding on decaying vegetation; when good runs out they climb on each other, form a slug like body, and sacks develop with spores inside.
