Three mushroom-forming species are adapted to live in the desert. How are desert mushrooms adapted to desert life? Please select all correct answers.  a.) By dispersing their spores all at once b.) Caps stay closed to conserve water c.) They only grow underground d.) They release spores continually for days or weeks e.) By digesting dead organic matter.

Why do fungi mostly occur in moist habitat? a) Their thin hyphae lose water quickly making them vulnerable to dehydration b) Their spores are small and vulnerable to dehydration c) Their sperm require water to swim to eggs d) Conidiophores require moisture for dispersal e) A and C f) C and D

You have been asked to consult for a biotech company that is seeking to understand why some fungi can live in very extreme environments, such as the high temperatures inside naturally occurring hot springs. The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.

The police had two individuals that they were considering as suspects responsible for a crime. They asked the forensic team to look for other evidence that might link one of the suspects to the crime scene. Luckily the forensics team was able to isolate fungal spores from the shoes of each suspect for further analysis. What technique could the researchers use to microscopically observe and compare the vegetative and reproductive structures from fungi found on the shoes? Only name the technique.

What are mycorrhizae? a) The bodies of fungi, composed of hyphae b) fungi that attack plant roots, causing disease C) fungal hyphae that are massed together into stringlike structures d) fungi that have symbiotic partnerships with algae or cyanobacteria e) mutually beneficial associations of particular fungi and plant roots

What are the two organisms that are the cause of these two fungal diseases? Answer with genus and species names How did he most likely contract the disease? What diagnostic tests would confirm the diagnosis? What is the go-to drug used to treat these diseases?
