Differentiate between the imperfect fungi and all other fungi?

They usually are called imperfect fungi because there is no evidence that their life cycle has a sexual stage. Imperfect fungi reproduce asexually by producing spores


Why are the imperfect fungi imperfect?

Imperfect fungi are considered imperfect because they do not exhibit in any of its life cycle both means of reproduction - sexual and asexual reproduction. Their most common means of reproduction is by asexual reproduction.AnswerThey were called imperfect because no one understood their life styles "perfectly". Also there is current debate over how to classify these fungi. The imperfect fungi were once grouped in the phylum Deuteromycota, however this phylum has been removed and there is currently no place for these asexual fungi in the current fungal classification system. It is because there has never been a sexual reproductive stage observed from them. B.

What is the type of fungi in which a sexual phase has not been observed?


What are some examples of imperfect Fungi?

Penicillium, aspergillus, etc. They are considered to be imperfect fungi because they cannot be fully classified as ascomycotans because they do not fully exhibit sexual reproduction. Phyllum Deuteromycota serves as temporary shelter for unclassified fungi, usually former ascomycotans. So called "imperfect fungi" since they do not exhibit a sexual phase, just as imperfect and perfect flowers are named. Aspergillus and Penicillium have a counterpart in Ascomycota wherein they are sexual though. Eurotium and Talaromyces, respectively.
