Amazing educational video. Truly helpful, easy to follow and to understand the different concepts of this fungi. Thank you very much for creating this fine video!!!
I’m confused. The first two opposite mating spores create the primary mycelium and are monokaryotic. I thought they were short lived and as soon as they find each other they create the secondary mycelium, which is all dikaryotic. From what I’m reading, the secondary mycelium will form a tissue that will become the basidiocarp (the fruiting body). Shouldn’t all the hyphae that form the mycelium in the mushroom be dikaryotic? In this video, you show that the hyphae from both mating types (the monokaryotic hyphae) and the dikaryotic hyphae after plasmogamy occurs are what the mushroom is constructed of. Can you shine some light on this please?
Dear Nathan, I don't pretend to be a specialist in mycology. I'm actually a bacteriologist. So this video is solely based on my research on the subject matter. What I understand is that some hypha come together/fuse to form dikaryotic cells. The images used in my video over simplifies this. But, I believe that other hypha do not need to join/fuse together and remain as monokaryotic cells. Please send me links to what you found in the literature that disputes this. My goal is to present this topic as accurate as possible. Thank you for your comment.
Hello Dr. Bolduc, this is one of the links: www.biologydiscussion.com/fungi/agaricus-habitat-structure-and-reproduction/24077 I also tried searching for images of the hyphae in basidiocarps, but it was hard to tell what was going on. I’m really new to mycology and your video helped a lot. Thank you for your reply and if I find a definitive answer, I will post it.
From what i've heard, basidiomycota do indeed become dikaryotic upon plasmogamy, and will stay in this state indefinitely until something stimulates sexual reproduction. Ascomycota may fuse, but will not become dikaryotic until they are about to sexually reproduce.. the book "The 5th Kingdom" is a suitable mycology textbook.
Spores begin as haploid cells. Two of these, with opposite mating types, would need to come into close proximity in order to create the dikaryotic (2 nuclei in one cell), and then will grow the fruiting body.
Awesome! Thank you for the confirmation; I'm trying to teach myself how to identify fungal hyphae, and spores under the microscope. As an autodidact and a "citizen-scientist", I can not thank you enough. Now, I watched your video on Ascomycetes - and there you mention that ascomycetes include molds that have septated hyphae, so my question here is, then, are molds that produce non-septated hyphae also considered ascomycetes? If not, what group do they belong to? Zygomycotas?

Omg this is the most genius explanation ever!!
This is the best video for ever for bacidiomicota. I loved it. Thanks bro!
You sir, just saved my life with this perfect explanation of basidiomycota. I might just pass this exam after all.
this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
from the video, how do basidiomycetes fungi create their basidia?
cleared the whole confusion! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Gilles Bolduc Sir can you make a video on deductive and inductive reasoning+phyletic lineage+structure of proteins( primary secondary and tertiary.)?
My thoughts exactly!!!! Could you please also explain the reproduction through conidia that occurs during indirect germination? THANKS IN ADVANCE
True teacher 🥉
Very helpful. Thank you ♥️
great explained, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Sir. It's a perfect explanation.
excellent video sir
you are a hero
thanks a lot!!My confusions in sexual reproduction of basidiomycetes are clear now..

Thank you! Very helpful diagrams
Excellent sir
It is good explanation and I want more explanation on the Olpidium spp (Olpidium phylogeny)
Thank you a lot for making my doubts clear....Thank you once again
You are welcome!
thank you professor
excellent sir
Amazing professor
Very helpful thank you!
You are greatttttt Sir👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👏👌👏👌👌👌👌
Love your explanation! It all makes sense now :D
What would happen if hyphae grew from only one spore? Does it need hyphae of the opposite 'sex' to form mycelium by creating a 2-haploid nuclei?
Spores begin as haploid cells. Two of these, with opposite mating types, would need to come into close proximity in order to create the dikaryotic (2 nuclei in one cell), and then will grow the fruiting body.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)
My Pleasure. Thank you.
Gilles Bolduc tq
Sir At the first the Hyphae are called Primary Mycelium ?? Sorry You know what am I trying to Say
Thank You Sir ❤
Sorry Sir But what is Basidium ??
Really.. Helpful
Thanks alot
Thank you!
great explanation!
👌👌👌👌👌soooo .....gooood....
Now this is learning
thank you, very heplful!!
Great explanation👍. Thanks!
bundle of thanks !
You're welcome!
Is it safe to say that all basidiomycetes produce septate hyphae? Or is that incorrect?
Nina Folch, you are correct. Basidiomycetes have septated hyphae.
Awesome! Thank you for the confirmation; I'm trying to teach myself how to identify fungal hyphae, and spores under the microscope. As an autodidact and a "citizen-scientist", I can not thank you enough.

You are right again. By definition, the Zygomycotas, such as bread mold, do not have sepatated hyphae. They are coenocytic in nature.
Thank you.
thank u so much . it really helped me ^^
Super helpful!
very didactic! thanks!
thank you for your help I got 5marks in exam for this keep making plz..
Awesome. Congratulations!
Thank you SOOOOOO much!!
It's my pleasure!
GREAT
👌👌👍....thanks
thanx Sir
Thank u. Really helpful:)
Your welcome!
