For much of the Paleozoic Era (542–251 Ma), the fungi appear to have been aquatic and consisted of organisms similar to the extant Chytrids in having flagellum-bearing spores. [18] Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the flagellum was lost early in the evolutionary history of the fungi, and consequently, the majority of fungal species lack a ...
Mycelium is an important food source for many soil invertebrates. They are vital to agriculture and are important to almost all species of plants, many species co-evolving with the fungi. Mycelium is a primary factor in some plants' health, nutrient intake and growth, with mycelium being a major factor to plant fitness.
A planted reef aquarium filled with Bladed sand moss (Caulerpa prolifera) A seagrass aquarium housing several seagrass meadow inhabitants. Aquatic plants are used to give the aquarium a natural appearance, oxygenate the water, and provide habitat for fish, especially fry (babies) and for invertebrates.
Both plants and fungi associate with multiple symbiotic partners at once, and both plants and fungi are capable of preferentially allocating resources to one partner over another. [ 60 ] It is hypothesized that fitness is improved by the transfer of infochemicals through common mycorrhizal networks, as these signals and cues can induce ...

Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), an iconic mushroom Large agaric s, or other fleshy fungi such as bolete s. Commonly divided into mushrooms (human-edible) and toadstools (inedible). [251] myc-mycet-, myceto-, myco-Combining prefixes that mean "fungus". From Gr. mykēs and mykētos , fungus. [252] mycelial cord A discrete aggregation of hyphae.
One fungiid species, Heliofungia actiniformis ("anemone coral"), can be easily mistaken for a sea anemone [actiniarian] because its tentacles remain visible during the day. [6] Fungia spp. have a commensal pipefish, Siokunichthys nigrolineatus. [9] Heliofungia actiniformis provides shelter to some fish species (Gobiidae and Labridae). [10] [11]
Marine botany is the study of flowering vascular plant species and marine algae that live in shallow seawater of the open ocean and the littoral zone, along shorelines of the intertidal zone, coastal wetlands, and low-salinity brackish water of estuaries.
