So, other than having a name associated with a sac, what else is special about this group? Actually, quite a bit. Some species have mutualistic relationships with plants and algae, meaning they help the plants and algae, and the plants and algae help them.
For example, some species attach to the roots of plants where they make minerals useable for the plants while the plant provides them with food.
Or some have a mutualistic relationship with algae to form lichen. The algae produce food and the Ascomycota offers structure and support for the algae.
The Ascomycota group can be found all over the world (even in Antarctica), and chances are you are familiar with at least one or two species. For example, the antibiotic penicillin comes from a type of Ascomycota fungi, as does baker's yeast, as well as the mushroom delicacies truffles and morels.
But they aren't all good. Many cause mold growth on food, diaper rashes on babies, diseases on plants, mildew on your walls, and lung infections in people with compromised immune systems.
