Basidiomycota- spores born externally on a club shapped structure called basidum, and forcibly discharged
Ascomycota -spores born internally in a sac called an ascus
Zygomycota- sexual spores are thick walled resting spores called zygosprores
Chytidimycota-sexual and asexual spores motile with posterior flagella

∙ 11y agoPhylum: Chytridiomycota (Chytrids)
Fungi in the phylum Chytridiomycota are called Chytrids.
DNA evidence indicates that this group may have been the first fungi to evolve.
These fungi live mostly in water and soil.
Unlike other fungi, the spores (called zoospores) have flagella. These are the only fungi with flagellated cells.
Phylum: ZygomycotaFungi in the phylum
Zygomycota
are called
zygomycetes.
The zygomycetes are terrestrial. They are usually saprotrophs but there are some parasites.
The hyphae are coenocytic (theyn lack septa). Septa are found only in the reproductive structures.
Phylum: GlomeromycotaGlomeromycetes are an ecologically important group because they form arbuscular mycorrhizae.
Phylum: Ascomycota (Sac Fungi)Examples: Yeasts, molds, morels, truffles
Ascomycetes are important in digesting resistant materials such as cellulose (found in plant cell walls), lignin (found in wood), and collagen (a connective tissue found in animals). This group also includes many important plant pathogens.
Many, perhaps half of the species of ascomycota form lichens- a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic cell such as a green algae or a cyanobacteria. The fungal component of most lichens is an Ascomycete.
Phylum: Basidiomycota (Club Fungi)Some examples of basidiomycetes are mushrooms, puffballs, shelf fungi, birds nest fungi, and stinkhorns.
This group includes some serious plant diseases such as rusts and smuts.

What is phylum basidiomycota?
The phylum Basidiomycota belongs to the kingdom fungi. The organisms that are included in this phylum are mushroom-producing fungi, such as stinkhorns and puffballs .
In which phylum are the fungi that are predominantly aquatic classified-?
chytridiomycota
What is a sac fungi?
Mushrooms were originally classifed in the phylum Basidiomycota, and the sac fungi were originally placed in the phylum Ascomycota. Recently, these two phyla have been merged to form the Dikaryomycota.

What are the four major phyla of fungi?
The Ascomycota type, which are truffles and yeasts procreate sexually. Imperfect Fungi have not been seen to do this and it is thought they have lost the ability. Basidiomycota are mushrooms and toadstools. They produce sexually via spores. Finally, zygomycota, which is bread mold, and develop by sexually and asexually.
What is the main characteristics of Phylum Basidiomycota?
It is often referred to as "club fungi", all members of this Phylum form spores on club-shaped cells known as basidia. Mushrooms are the most common examples of the members in this phylum. :)
Why are members of phylum Euglenophyta classified as plant like protists how do they move?
MOstly unicellular photosynthetic autotrophs that have characteristics similar to green plants or fungi.
Phylum that also called a conjugation fungi?
the conjugation fungi phylum is a also called Phylum Zycomycota.

What is the phylum for fungi with unknown sexual stages?
The phylum for fungi with unknown sexual stages is called Deuteromycota. This phylum, also known as fungi imperfecti or imperfect fungi, includes various fungi that have not yet been observed to reproduce sexually.
What is another name for phylum deuteromycota?
Imperfect fungi (or Fungi imperfecta) is another name for the phylum Deuteromycota.

Rhizopus stolonifer
Is kelp forests phylum fungi?
Well, fungi is a Kingdom, not a Phylum. But, no, kelp is made of algae and belongs in Kingdom Protista.
How are phylum and division alike?
Phylum is called division in Botany and Fungi .
Fungi in the phylum chitridiomycota?
Chytridiomycota is a phylum of fungi that are characterized by their flagellated spores and simple, primitive structure. They are mostly aquatic and can be saprophytic or parasitic. Some species are known to cause disease in plants and amphibians.
