The classification of fungi, the kingdom to which moulds belong, is complex and subject to change as scientists discover more about their evolutionary relationships. The term mould is a colloquial one and does not identify a particular organism, and there are many different ones. Mucor, the common pin mould, was formerly placed in the phylum zygomycota, but is now reclassified as glomeromycota, and green mould, Penicillium, is in the phylum ascomycota.
