. In what sense is “fungus animal” a fitting descriptionof a slime mold? In what sense is it not fitting?
In the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores.
After that, give a brief description/function of each structure:
1. Hypha/Mycelium
2. Rhizoid
3. Stolon
4. Sporangium
