Chytrid fungi
Zygospore fungi (zygomycota)
Microsporidia
members are minute, intracellular parasites.
Chytrids
only fungi with flagellated cells in their life cycle
Zygospore fungi
have only one diploid cell in their entire life cycle
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
appear to reproduce be asexual means only
Sac fungi
- group containing the largest number of species
- produce sexual spores internally in sacs called asci
Club fungi
produce sexual spores externally on structures called basidia
