During the tutorial, common and/or typical representatives of groups traditionally ranked among "lower plants" are observed, demonstrated and commented. It is especially related to following groups: cyanophytes (Cyanophyta), euglenophytes (Euglenophyta), cryptophytes (Cryptophyta), diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), red algae (Rhodophyta), green algae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta), slime molds (Myxomycota), endoparasitic slime molds (Plasmodiophoromycota), water molds (Oomycota), chytrids (Chytridiomycota), conjugation fungi (Zygomycota), sac fungi (Ascomycota), imperfect fungi (Deuteromycota) and club fungi (Basidiomycota).

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this tutorial is to gain the practical knowledge of common cyanophytes, algae, fungi, fungi-like organisms and lichens: taxonomic identification, important aspects of biology and ecology of relevant taxa, detection of anatomical and morphological structures and basic terminology related to identification.
Students are supposed to be able to distinguish among main groups of "lower plants", identify basic representatives, have knowledge about their biology and ecology (including the habitat type). Students also should recognize and name important anatomical and morphological structures of examined organisms.
