Fungi are heterotrophs. Explain two methods by which they obtain food.
Explain how a fungus digests and absorbs its nutrients.
What phylum does Penicillium belong to?
What phylum do mushrooms belong to? What phylum do common molds like the black bread
mold (Rhizopus) belong to?
What are the functions of the following parts: spore, sporangium (sporangia)

relationship.
