The fruiting body of Aspergillus or Penicillium is
1 Hypanthodium
2 Peritheium
3 Apothecium
4 Cleistotheciun
Explanation:
The fruiting body of Aspergillus or Penicillium is cleistothecium. It is closed spore-bearing structure of some fungi from which spores are released only by disintegration or decay. - Hypanthodium is a special type of cymose inflorescence, eg:- Banyan (Ficus bengalensis) - Perithecium is a fleshy and sessile fruiting body with wide opened saucer shaped or cup shaped fungi eg:- Neurospora. - Apothecium is a spore bearing structure in many lichens and fungi consisiting of a discoid or cupped body bearing asci on the exposed flat or concave surface.

Which one of the following is wrong for fungi?
1 They are eukaryotic
2 All fungi possess a purely cellulosic cell wall
3 They are heterotrophic.
4 They are both unicellular and multicellular
Explanation:
In fungi, the cell wall contains chitin or cellulose along with other polysaccharides, proteins and lipids. Therefore, all fungi do not have a purely cellulosic cell wall. - Fungi are heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms with filamentous bodies called mycelium.

The imperfect fungi which are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling belong to :
1 Ascomycetes
2 Deuteromycetes
3 Basidiomycetes
4 Phycomycetes
Explanation:
Deuteromycetes, also called anamorphic fungi, which are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling. In this the true sexual state is uncommon or unknown. Some member are saprophytes or parasites while a large number of them are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling. eg. Colletotrichum, Helminthosporium etc. Conidia stages are similar to those in the phylum Ascomycota, but those of some species show affinities to lower fungi and the phylum Basidiomycetes.

4 Morels and truffles are poisonous mushrooms
Explanation:
Morels and truffles are ascomycetes and are edible mushrooms. Ascomycetes in the largest phylum of the kingdom Fungi. It produces sexual, non-motile spores known as ascospores. They are produced in a sac-like structures known as Ascus. Each ascus contain 4-8 ascospores. They are commonly known as sac fungi.
