This is a terminology question about fungi.
00:05
And the question asks us, what's the appropriate term for when you have sort of a mass of haploid hyphi? and that's your fungus.
00:20
And the correct answer is b.
00:24
We would normally refer to that as a mold.
00:30
Molds typically grow on food.
00:35
Or they decomposing materials and it's basically just a mass of haploid, hyphi, and typically they reproduce asexually.
00:46
So that's what we mean when we think of a mold.
00:49
The other terms here are quite different.
00:52
A lichen is a mutualistic interaction between a fungus and algae.
01:00
So that's quite different both in appearance and makeup from a mold...
