no, smut is an example of basidiomycete fungi.
Scientists often divide fungi into four groups: club fungi, molds, sac fungi, and imperfect fungi,Each type of fungi is classified based on the way it reproduces. The way that these fungi reproduce is difficult to understand and they are hard to classify into what would be called 'normal' sexual reproduction.

Basidiomycota. Of kingdom fungi
Imperfect fungi (or Fungi imperfecta) is another name for the phylum Deuteromycota.
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
I think it is parasitism because corn smut is the disease on a corn crop caused by fungi and so, fungi is taking nourishment from the corn crop but damaging it at the same time (corn smut..).
Fungi is a decomposer.
Imperfect fungi are located every where, on land ,in water,in air, in and on bodies of living and dead organisms
respond pls
Corn smut is caused by an Ascomyetousfungi. It is considered a parasite of corn and grows and deforms the corn seeds.
