Fungi \Fun"gi\, n. pl. (Bot.)
   A group of thallophytic plants of low organization, destitute
   of chlorophyll, in which reproduction is mainly accomplished
   by means of asexual spores, which are produced in a great
   variety of ways, though sexual reproduction is known to occur
   in certain {Phycomycetes}, or so-called algal fungi.

   Note: The Fungi appear to have originated by degeneration
         from various alg[ae], losing their chlorophyll on
         assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. By some they
         are divided into the subclasses {Phycomycetes}, the
         lower or algal fungi; the {Mesomycetes}, or
         intermediate fungi; and the {Mycomycetes}, or the
         higher fungi; by others into the {Phycomycetes}; the
         {Ascomycetes}, or sac-spore fungi; and the
         {Basidiomycetes}, or basidial-spore fungi.

Fungi \Fun"gi\, n. pl. (Bot.)
   See {Fungus}.

Fungus \Fun"gus\, n.; pl. L. {Fungi}, E. {Funguses}. [L., a
   mushroom; perh. akin to a doubtful Gr. ? sponge, for ?;if so,
   cf. E. sponge.]
   1. (Bot.) Any one of the Fungi, a large and very complex
      group of thallophytes of low organization, -- the molds,
      mildews, rusts, smuts, mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls,
      and the allies of each.

   Note: The fungi are all destitute of chorophyll, and,
         therefore, to be supplied with elaborated nourishment,
         must live as saprophytes or parasites. They range in
         size from single microscopic cells to systems of
         entangled threads many feet in extent, which develop
         reproductive bodies as large as a man's head. The
         vegetative system consists of septate or rarely
         unseptate filaments called hyph[ae]; the aggregation of
         hyph[ae] into structures of more or less definite form
         is known as the mycelium. See Fungi, in the Supplement.

   2. (Med.) A spongy, morbid growth or granulation in animal
      bodies, as the proud flesh of wounds. --Hoblyn.

Cryptogamia \Cryp`to*ga"mi*a\ (kr?p`t?-g?"m?-?), n.; pl.
   {Cryptogami[ae]} (-?). [NL., fr. Gr. krypto`s hidden, secret
   + ga`mos marriage.] (Bot.)
   The series or division of flowerless plants, or those never
   having true stamens and pistils, but propagated by spores of
   various kinds.

   Note: The subdivisions have been variously arranged. The
         following arrangement recognizes four classes: -- I.
         {{Pteridophyta}, or {Vascular Acrogens}.} These include
         Ferns, {Equiseta} or Scouring rushes, {Lycopodiace[ae]}
         or Club mosses, {Selaginelle[ae]}, and several other
         smaller orders. Here belonged also the extinct coal
         plants called {Lepidodendron}, {Sigillaria}, and
         {Calamites}. II. {{Bryophita}, or {Cellular Acrogens}}.
         These include {Musci}, or Mosses, {Hepatic[ae]}, or
         Scale mosses and Liverworts, and possibly
         {Charace[ae]}, the Stoneworts. III. {{Alg[ae]}}, which
         are divided into {Floride[ae]}, the Red Seaweeds, and
         the orders {Dictyote[ae]}, {O["o]spore[ae]},
         {Zo["o]spore[ae]}, {Conjugat[ae]}, {Diatomace[ae]}, and
         {Cryptophyce[ae]}. IV. {{Fungi}}. The molds, mildews,
         mushrooms, puffballs, etc., which are variously grouped
         into several subclasses and many orders. The {Lichenes}
         or Lichens are now considered to be of a mixed nature,
         each plant partly a Fungus and partly an Alga.
