Here i am getting a degree in Philosophy free of charge, and also getting this course in fungal reproduction for free out of curiosity. Lucky to be born in a country that values education enough to make it free.
I have been confused with fungal reproduction for like 2 years and haven't found a video this concise and clear anywhere... Thanks a lot for clearing my years long confusion!!!
Maybe it is because you did not get the basics of mitosis and meiosis in your intro biology course, which would make things even more confusing for you than it already is
Perhaps a thing to note (which helped me get a lot of confusion out of the way). In basidiomycota, for instance, the heterokaryotic cells first undergo mitosis to create the basidiocarp (the fruiting body, basically the visible mushroom); then in its gills in basidia these heterokaryotic cells fuse and become diploid, then undergo meiosis and create spores as a result of sexual reproduction.
Thank you so much!! It helped me so much, because my lecture notes had this exact same picture!! You made it very clear and easy to understand. Thank you!!
The mushroom (the fruiting body of a basidiomycete) is heterokaryotic. The only part that is diploid is the basidium which undergo meiosis to produce basidiospores, which are haploid.
Can I ask a questions? 1.) What is the importance of mitospores in the cell wall of fungi? 2.)What is the importance of meiospores in the cell wall of fungi?
4:31 It's a bit confusing that you drew the fruit bodies on the mycelium that mated since generally they have to mate first before they can produce fruit bodies aka mushrooms.
Question, during the fusing of the two hyphae, are the two hyphae different cells with different DNA? If mycelium as a whole is one multicellular organism, wouldnt each hyphae contain the same DNA and therefore still produce an identical offspring?
If i remember correctly when they fuse it's one cell with both nuclei inside. Then they fuse when they are creating a mushroom or spores or something like that. It's kinda like they live in the same house till it's time to mate and produce spores. They don't fuse if it's mycelium from the same dna, because they don't have compatible mating types kinda like male and female but fungi can have many different "sexes".
Kind of weird some people misunderstand that fungi have over 36,000 mating types and not sexes in the literal genetic sense infact the only two sexes in fungi is male and female
1:11 mycelium is NOT "almost like the roots of the mushroom", if anything the mushroom is the root of the mycelium as NO ONE grows mushrooms we ONLY grow mycelium and when the mycelium gets stressed it produces fruiting bodies. Thus the mycelium is like a apple tree, and the mushroom the apple the ONLY difference is that mycelium will NOT produce any fruiting bodies unless it's stressed, while trees ONLY produce fruit when there's enough nutrients as they have to chose either to focus energy on growth OR reproduction hence young trees DON'T reproduce as it's more important to establish themselves and grow tall thus killing their competition and THEN once they have full sun and access to water constantly (taproot into aquifer) THEN reproduce though apple trees often are grafted onto crabapple stumps, as you need BOTH sexes for them to produce fruit, thus it's common to graft on BOTH sexes onto the same rootstock (crabapple stump), that and you don't have to start from seed as you can use branches, thus MOST of our orchards contain very little genetic diversity. This is part of the reason that apple trees are VERY disease and pest prone as they LACK genetic varietation and ANYTIME you have very little genetic diversity over a large area you end up creating disease and pests issues which can wipe out the entire orchard, as normally diversity insures this is IMPOSSIBLE, thus only the weak trees die out thus creating a arms war, hence the level of diversity in rainforests AND the number of species in one acre of trees alone (normally 20-30 varieties) as plants ONLY tweak organic compounds to produce secondary metabolities (aka pest, weed, microbe repellant), thus the more varieties especially mycelium (as 90% of ALL plants form symbiotic relationships with fungi as fungi create a neural net, encourage beneficial bacterial growth while stopping pathogenic bacteria (hence ALL our anti bacterial drugs like penicillin come from FUNGI). Strange enough fungi seem to act as third party negotiator as they aren't the ones which can fix nitrogen from the air, but they do create little pods where they GROW nitrogen fixing bacteria as fungi seem to farm just like humans do as they digest food OUTSIDE their bodies, through promoting positive bacteria, and killing the rest. As bacteria does ALL the heavy lifting for the breakdown of compounds in both the plant, fungi and animal kingdoms, fungi just create the right enviroment, thus it benefits from BOTH the plant and the bacteria as the bacteria does the work and the fungi then trades nitrogen with the plant for sugar and the fungi gets a cut of BOTH. Hence nowadays organic farming is ALL about soil cultivation NOT plants as the plants can ONLY gain access to N,P, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe etc.. If those minerals are in ion form thus they require the soil to make this possible, which is why inorganic farmers waste SO much fertilizer as they have to constantly apply more, as it leaks out of the soil as there is NOTHING in the soil to hold onto these ions and allow the plant to use them later.
Didn't read all of it, i would say it's like an apple tree with no trunks of leaves just the roots and when the time is right(not necessarily because it's stressed) the roots grow towards the surface and start growing apples.
And here i am paying 13K a year to learn everything from YT
Fuck university cost.
Same thing but paying to a community college 😂😂😂 I shouldn’t be surprised

@denusklausen3685 what country?
Me but it’s 75k
You literally condense 5 pages of explain this process into 3 minutes. Thank you so much! this means a lot!

Thank you! This helped me a lot!
Can the fruiting body of fungi reproduce asexually? (Just by mitosis)
One of the easiest explanations of this on-book complicated topic.
I thank you graciously, helpful stranger of the internet
this was so very helpful thank you so much! especially explaining what structures were haploid and what were diploid
I don't think anybody in the earth could explain better than you. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much!! It helped me so much, because my lecture notes had this exact same picture!! You made it very clear and easy to understand. Thank you!!
Exactly what I needed to understand, thanks!
THANK YOU. Very clear lecture.
This is a very good lecture. Very concise
The mushroom (the fruiting body of a basidiomycete) is heterokaryotic. The only part that is diploid is the basidium which undergo meiosis to produce basidiospores, which are haploid.
This was so helpful, you helped me do my presentation!
This was so helpful! Thankyou
Love this! Highly recommend!
So helpful, thanks for explaining so simply
perfect explanation! much better than my bio teacher! Thank you
Such a clear explanation thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much you are so smart in the topic .It is really understandable.
Thank you so much awesome explanation!
Can I ask a questions?
1.) What is the importance of mitospores in the cell wall of fungi?
2.)What is the importance of meiospores in the cell wall of fungi?
this was extremly helpful thank you
Thank you. Its super helpful!😍
Wow! well-explained.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Wonderfully explained...
Awesome! Thank you
Best explanation 👌
Wow this helped me so muchh!!! thank you so much :)) Bless you
Thank you .. very interesting lecture 💖
Thank you mam, for making it this much clear.
Thanks!

thank you very much you saved me from a disaster
Thank you so much ❤
this video helped me pass my bio exam thank u
How does dimorphic fungi reproduce in its yeast like state?
Do fungal cells undergo homologous recombination before meiosis?
Very much clear
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
very helpful. Thank you!!!!
Thankyou ma'am.
Excellent!
this was so helpful, thank you!
4:31 It's a bit confusing that you drew the fruit bodies on the mycelium that mated since generally they have to mate first before they can produce fruit bodies aka mushrooms.
Do we know which species reproduce by which method? Or do they all do a bit of both?
Question, during the fusing of the two hyphae, are the two hyphae different cells with different DNA? If mycelium as a whole is one multicellular organism, wouldnt each hyphae contain the same DNA and therefore still produce an identical offspring?
If i remember correctly when they fuse it's one cell with both nuclei inside. Then they fuse when they are creating a mushroom or spores or something like that. It's kinda like they live in the same house till it's time to mate and produce spores.
They don't fuse if it's mycelium from the same dna, because they don't have compatible mating types kinda like male and female but fungi can have many different "sexes".
YOU'RE THE BESTTTTT!!!!!!
Thank you so much..💖💖👍
Thank you ma'm
Interesting 😍 thank you!
awesome video!
you are a lifesaver tysm
thank you very good lecture
Really helpful
Are the roots mycelium or rhizoids? I'm confused here
Very Helpful
does anyone know how to get this information to stick? i’m struggling in microbiology
thanks ma'am
You’re a godsend
Thank you 😊
Hi heba
What u know me?
top notch
why isn't this vdo should be in my class
thankyou ¡
yasss u ate with this i understand perfectly :D
Thanks
Thank u..
شكرا عزيزتي thank you!
omg thank you so much !!!!
awesome
thankyou!!
Thhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnkkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁
so, the two mushrooms hold hands, and make little mushrooms?
no, in that drawing explanation imagine the first two mushrooms aren't even there.
@@CMZneu holy shit, i don't even remember commenting this.
what if two spores' mycelium fuse while the fungi still aren't fully formed? is that asexual or sexual
Thanks mam
this was helpful, thank
just take my money
Hey can u plzz make a video on dna replication
thank you
Hi
W video
😁
i love you thank you
Kind of weird some people misunderstand that fungi have over 36,000 mating types and not sexes in the literal genetic sense infact the only two sexes in fungi is male and female
Thanksssss
Hi
What u know me ?
LOVE YOU
Why is sexual reproduction rare in fungi?
It's not rare, most if not all gourmet mushrooms reproduce sexually aka mix their dna, generally if it produces a tradicional mushroom it does this.
Watch at 1.25
respect from pakistan
Please lecture give in urdu
Great staff! How many chromosomes do fungi have?
Haploid number except the zygote which has diploid

I don’t always read long texts but when I do they’re about stressed out fungi 🤫🤫
Didn't read all of it, i would say it's like an apple tree with no trunks of leaves just the roots and when the time is right(not necessarily because it's stressed) the roots grow towards the surface and start growing apples.
I hate this topic so much
Amazing explanation thank you!
