Mycology Exam Q&A Compilation

Fungal infections can cause serious disease in debilitated or immunocompromised patients. Some fungi have both yeast and mold forms, with the yeast form appearing in the environment and the mold form in tissue. The main component of the fungal cell wall is chitin. Imperfect fungi are referred to the division of Deuteromycotina. An ascocarp is a structure that does not include a cleistothecium. The non-motile spores produced by terrestrial fungi are called aplanospores.
