Botany - Biological Classification Question with Solution | TestHub

Fungi form a unique group of heterotrophic organisms showing wide diversity. Based various features like spore formation mode, fruiting bodies fungi is categorized into -

Phycomycetes - Mainly aquatic habitat, also seen growing on decaying wood. Their mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic. Zoospores or aplanosopres are formed during asexual reproduction.Mucor, Rhizopus, Albugoare included in this group.

Ascomycetes - Majorly multi cellular and also called sac-fungi as their reproductive spores are produced in sac like structure called ascus. For asexual reproduction, conidia are produced in specialized structure called conidiophore. This group includesPenicillium, Aspergillus, Claviceps.

Basidiomycetes - Filamentous fungi having hyphae and specialized club-shaped cells called basidia involved in sexual reproduction.Agaricus (mushroom),Puccinia, Ustilagofall in this group.

Deuteromycetes - Reproduce only via asexual mode through spores called conidia. The mycelium of this group is septate and branched.Trichoderma, Colletotrichumare included in this group.
