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.

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.
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
Yeasts are members of which of the following a. sac fungi b. club fungi c. imperfect fungi or d. water molds?
a. sac fungi
What is the type of fungi in which a sexual phase has not been observed?
Examples of fungi?
Some examples are:mushroom, mold, puffball, shelf/bracket fungus, yeast, etc.
What fungi has never been seen in a sexual stage?
in some imperfect fungi

Why is Penicillium an imperfect 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.
Has the sexual stage ever been seen in imperfect fungi?
Yes, the sexual stage has been observed in imperfect fungi, which are also known as Deuteromycetes or fungi lacking a known sexual stage. Although they were originally thought to reproduce solely through asexual means, it has been discovered that some species of imperfect fungi can undergo sexual reproduction under certain conditions. However, the sexual stage in these fungi is rare and not well understood compared to fungi with known sexual cycles.
Is smut an example of imperfect fungi?
no, smut is an example of basidiomycete fungi.
What are spme examples of fungi?
some examples are sac fungi club fungi and zygospore fungiMushrooms are fungi, protists (molds or algae).
How is imperfect fungi formed?
the only way it moves is if it is growing. so itdoes not even have flagellum
