Fungal nomenclature follows the International Botanical Code of Nomenclature. The criteria for the different taxonomic categories are different for each phylum. However, much of the classification is based on sexual reproduction or, when that is not present, asexual reproduction. (For some groups, both modes of reproduction are used.)

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.
