Answer: 4. Yeasts have filamentous bodies with long thread-like hyphae.

Key idea: Yeasts are unicellular, not filamentous.

Morels and truffles are edible ascomycetes. Claviceps yields ergot alkaloids and LSD. In ascomycetes, conidia form exogenously and ascospores endogenously in asci. Yeast (Saccharomyces) is single-celled, so statement 4 (long thread-like hyphae) is incorrect.
