funguses Definition

any of a kingdom (Fungi) of saprophytic and parasitic spore-producing eukaryotic typically filamentous organisms formerly classified as plants that lack chlorophyll and include molds, rusts, mildews, smuts, mushrooms, and yeasts

a basidiomycete that forms shelflike sporophores

any simple, microscopic, aquatic fungus (phylum Chytridiomycota) that does not typically form mycelium, that bears motile spores with a single posterior flagellum, and that is either saprophytic on decaying organic matter or parasitic especially on algae, higher plants, and the skin of amphibians (as in chytridiomycosis)

any of various basidiomycetes (family Clavariaceae) with a simple or branched often club-shaped sporophore

any of an order (Pezizales) of mostly saprophytic ascomycetous fungi with a fleshy or horny apothecium that is often colored and typically shaped like a cup, saucer, or disk

any of a large and varied group of fungi that are only known to reproduce by the production of asexual spores (conidia) and in which a sexual form of reproduction is lacking or has not been scientifically observed

a fungus with hyphae absent or rudimentary and nonseptate

a fungus (family Boletaceae or Polyporaceae) having the spore-bearing surface within tubes or pores
