Lecture: Introduction to mycology, mycological literature. Main groups of fungi and fungus like organisms, their characteristics and phylogeny. Fossil fungi. Fungal ecology: saprothrophs, mycorrhizal fungi. Fungal ecology: parasitic fungi. Plant pathology. Medical mycology. Current systematics. Cellular and slime molds. Phytomyxea. Oomycota (STRAMINIPILA). FUNGI: Chytridiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Blastocladiomycota. Microsporidia Zygomycetous fungi (Mucoromycota, Zoopagomycota). Fungi forming arbuscular mycorrhizae. Ascomycota - introduction Ascomycota (Saccharomycotina, Taphrinomycotina, Pezizomycotina) Lichenes (Ascomycota: Peziziomycotina- Lecanoromycetes): taxonomy, biology, ecology Basidiomycota (Pucciniomycotina, Ustilaginomycotina, Agaricomycotina: Tremellomycetes, Dacrymycetes) Basidiomycota (Agaricomycotina: Agaricomycetes) Fungal cell, hyphae. Fungal physiology. Life cycles and reproduction. Spores, dormance, dispersal. Basic fungal genetics. Practicals: Mushrooms exhibition in Museum of South Bohemia, macroscopic characters of macromycetes, fruit body types Excursion I Excursion II Microscopic characters of macromycetes Mycorrhizae Macromycetes identification Lichenes Plant parasites Saprothrophic micromycetes Stydying of own samples, slime molds Identification of micromycetes and lichens

Assessment methods and criteria |
Combined exam
Active participation in practicales including bringing own samples for observation - fungal fruitbody, mycorrhizal plants, plants attacked by fungal parasites, slime mold, lichens, molds. Participation in the excursion and the ability to communicate with experts - sending an email about the record of an interesting mushroom documented by a herbarium specimen. Correct identification and classification of common species of macromycetes, micromycetes and lichens. It is possible to bring own material. |
