Zygomycota are called âconjugation fungiâ due to. their mode of sexual reproduction. 2) Ascomycota (p. 665 of Life): The cup fungi live both independently and within symbiotic relationships with green algae (i.e., lichens). Common examples include the morel mushrooms, truffles, and bakerâs yeast. These fungi can also reproduce both sexually and asexually, but the asexual mode is more common (see Fig 5.9 of your photo atlas). During sexual reproduction, a fruiting body called an ascocarp is formed which constitutes the âcupâ in cup fungi.
