There are ~7 phyla in the kingdom Fungi. (There is some disagreement, which I note.)
Dikaryomycota--which consists of the subphyla Ascomycotina and Basidiomycotina that used to be their own phyla
Zygomycota--this is likely to be broken up into many phyla in the next few years
Chytridiomycota
Blastocladiomycota
Monoblepharidomycota--some believe and act as if this is still part of Chytridiomycota
Neocallimastigomycota
Cryptomycota
Previously, there were only 5, which follow:
Ascomycota
Basidiomycota
Zygomycota
Chytridiomycota
Deuteromycota
Fungi are currently placed into different phyla based on their from of sexual reproduction. Currently seven different phyla have been proposed including: * Chytridiomycota * Blastocladiomycota * Neocallimastiogomycota * Zygomycota * Glomeromcota * Ascomycota * Basidiomycota Reproduction modes and structures
The Ascomycota type, which are truffles and yeasts procreate sexually. Imperfect Fungi have not been seen to do this and it is thought they have lost the ability. Basidiomycota are mushrooms and toadstools. They produce sexually via spores. Finally, zygomycota, which is bread mold, and develop by sexually and asexually.
Mushrooms were originally classifed in the phylum Basidiomycota, and the sac fungi were originally placed in the phylum Ascomycota. Recently, these two phyla have been merged to form the Dikaryomycota.
These are the current phyla (divisions) within the kingdom Fungi: Dikaryomycota Zygomycota Chytridiomycota Monblepharidomycota Blastocladiomycota Neocallistigmycota Cryptomycota
Imperfect fungi are fungi that do not have a known sexual reproductive stage, also known as Deuteromycetes. All other fungi can reproduce sexually and have both sexual and asexual reproductive stages.
The three main phyla of fungi are Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are the most diverse and well-studied phyla, while Zygomycota is relatively small in terms of species diversity.

There are a half dozen phyla and dozens of classes of fungi.
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.
Yes, the classification of fungi into phyla is primarily based on their method of sexual reproduction, such as the structure of their reproductive organs and spores. This system helps in organizing fungi into groups based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
The Ascomycota type, which are truffles and yeasts procreate sexually. Imperfect Fungi have not been seen to do this and it is thought they have lost the ability. Basidiomycota are mushrooms and toadstools. They produce sexually via spores. Finally, zygomycota, which is bread mold, and develop by sexually and asexually.
These are the number of currently ranked phylum Animals phylum:35 Plant Divisions:11 Fungi Divisions:6 Bacterial:29 Archaeal Phyla/Division:5
No, there are many other species of fungi that do not have bodies of filaments (called hyphae). They call into the phyla of Chytridiomycota and Neocallimastigomycota.
Fungi can be unicellular (one-celled) or multicelluar (more than one cell).A common one-celled fungus is yeast (phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota).
