Best Answer

The first group of fungi is called Division Zygomycota. The second group is Division Ascomycota, or sac fungi, and the third group is Division Basidiomycota. The fungi that do not fit in to any of these groups are put in to the "junk drawer" of fungi. This group is called Division Deuteromycota, or "imperfect fungi". All fungi are classified based on the structure in which their spores are produced, but in this "imperfect" group, scientists have never observed their spores being produced. Because of this, they cannot classify them in to any other group.
