Introduction to the Fungi In this part of the course, we will be studying the organisms that are referred to as fungi Botany 135 home page . The emphasis here, instead, will be to study the relationships of the various groups of fungi and attempt to make sense of their phylogeny. Classification of Fungi Once upon a time biologist only recognized two kingdoms: Plant and Animal (this was how organisms were classified when I was an undergraduate). Fungi, as well as bacteria and algae were classified in the plant kingdom under this system and that is the reason that these organisms are traditionally studied in botany. In the case of fungi, MYCOLOGY is that part of botany that studies fungi. Although fungi are no longer classified as plants, there is still good reason to study them in botany. Fungi are most often associated with plants, commonly as decomposers, and pathogens, and as their benefactors, e.g. mycorrhiza , but "What is a fungus?" Based on what your studies on plants, in this course, you know that plants are known to be derived from a single algal ancestor from the algal division: Chlorophyta, i.e. they are monophyletic . Once upon a time, the fungi were also believed to be monophyletic and to be derived from an algal ancestor that lost its ability to photosynthesize. However, over time, with the discovery of new techniques in determining relationships between organisms, it was discovered that the fungi are made up of a polyphyletic group of organisms that, in some cases, are very distantly related to one another. Thus, organisms that we call fungi are not grouped together because they are closely related, but rather because they share a combination of characteristics that we will now go over:

The very concept of what belongs in the Kingdom Fungi has changed. Along with those changes have come changes in level of classificationelevation of most classes to phylum status and a cascade of changes underneath that. Most "annoying" to plant scientists have been changes in the accepted names of some familiar fungal pathogens. This lecture/discussion workshop will help you to catch up on what’s happened in mycology since you were in school. We’ll also discuss what students need to know about mycology by the time their degree is awarded. Registration Information: 1. Register early to ensure your place.

Mycology encompasses all subjects relating to fungi and is an equivalent field of study to botany, zooology and bacteriology. Therefore any undergraduate courses in basic biology will apply as well to fungi as to other organisms. Students wishing to begin their studies in mycology at the University of Toronto should start with a strong biology programme. Most mycology students have a strong botany background, with a particular emphasis in plant pathology. However, an emphasis in zoology instead of botany is also workable and may in fact open the door to highly interesting and unexplored areas of mycology. Whatever background in biology at student may have, the following courses offer good fundamental training in mycology: BOT 251Y - PHYSIOLOGY OF PLANTS AND MICROORGANISMS This is the Botany Department's basic course in physiology. Although much of the course deals with the physiology of vascular plants there is a basic introduction to fungi as well and lectures covering fundamental physiological characteristics of fungi. Fungi are structurally simple but physiologically complex; BOT 251 provides a first look at this complexity. BOT 301F - INTRODUCTION TO FUNGI BOT301 is our introductory course in mycology. Students wishing to study mycology should expect to take it in their third year. This course covers a variety of subjects in mycology and is designed to offer the student an overview of the discipline. The course instructors, Drs. Heath and Malloch, represent very different research interests and offer students a well balanced view of mycology. Laboratory exercises deal with the isolation and cultivation of fungi, stressing practical methods. There is a weekend field trip to Algonquin Provincial Park where fungi can be seen in their natural habitats. Students finishing this course are well prepared for more advanced studies using fungi.

Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with fungi . The Kingdom of Fungi is comparable in diversity, size and importance to the Plant and Animal kingdoms. Unlike plants and animals, however, most fungi are microscopic in size and cannot be viewed easily in their natural habitats. Because fungi cannot be observed directly, their biology must be inferred from accumulated evidence of their activities gathered by a variety of experimental and sampling methods. The Department of Botany of the University of Toronto has a long tradition in mycology stretching back to the beginning of the Twentieth Century. This tradition continues today with courses of study at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as in active research programs. Lab Pages Botany Home Page Faculty Profiles Undergrad Info. ...

Bibliography of Systematic Mycology provides a survey of the literature encompassing the biodiversity, classification, distribution, evolution, identification, nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of fungi (including those groups traditionally treated as fungi but now better classified in other kingdoms). Dictionary of the Fungi published by CABI Publishing also contains the current consensus on the fungal taxonomic hierarchy to the rank of genus. Here you may search the database for the status of generic names, or walk down the hierarchy from the rank of Kingdom. The entries for each genus generally include authors and place of publication together with the type species and other data.

Farlow Reference Library of Cryptogamic Botany Eliza Beulah Blackford (1847-1935) Papers Biography: Eliza B. Blackford* was born Eliza P. Larsh in Eaton, Ohio in 1847*. She was educated in the public schools there and married a classmate. Her husband became a minister and they moved to Boston where she began to study drawing and painting under the best teachers at the "Museum School". When she graduated, she had pupils of her own and was a substitute teacher at the school. Eventually she joined the staff of the Museum of Fine Arts where she stayed until her retirement in 1925. She travelled abroad and read French, German and Italian. She took a great interest in Botany, particularly, fungi. Besides her work at the Museum School, she was President of the Boston Mycological Club for several years and had four mushrooms named for her by Prof. Peck of NY. She also belonged to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the Boston Malacological (sp.) Society, the Copley Society, and the Ramblers Group of the Field and Forest Club. She died in January 1935 after a short illness, and left paintings and specimens to the Farlow Herbarium. * Biographical information taken from a letter by Sarah B. Pierce of the Boston Mycological Club (April 24, 1847).

Lab exercises : make detailed observations of specimens, and learn to recognize fungi Lab project : conduct a research study on an air mould Quizzes : test your knowledge of fungal biology What our students say about the course... This course gave an organized overview of fungi. I did not realize how much I learned in this course and how useful the information was until I took a plant pathology course and plant microbe interactions. Without mycology, I would have been lost. I never knew there were so many different kinds of fungi that take on so many important roles in natural ecosystems and in human society and industry. The life cycles, adaptations and diversity of fungal species are fascinating.
