Like protists, fungi are diverse. Choose the correct fungal group for each set of characteristics. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Zygomycetes Chytridomycetes Ascomycetes Basidiomycetes Glomerulomycetes reproduce using asci and can be found in aquatic or terrestrial environments. have flagellated, motile spores. includes the puffballs, smuts, and rusts. are important in food spoilage and include the bread mold Rhizopus. includes the endomycorrhizae, all of which are obligate symbionts.

Fungal Phylum Distinguishing Features Example Cryptomycota (cryptomycetes) Parasites with flagellated spores Microsporidia (microsporidians) Parasitic cells that form resistant spores Chytridiomycota (chytrids) Flagellated spores Zoopagomycota (zoopagomycetes) Resistant zygosporangium as sexual stage Mucuromycota (mucuromycetes) Include fungi that form arbuscular mycorrhizae with plants Ascomycota (ascomycetes) Sexual spores (ascospores) borne internally in sacs called asci; vast numbers of asexual spores (conidia) produced Basidiomycota (basidiomycetes) Elaborate fruiting body (basidiocarp) containing many basidia that produce sexual spores (basidiospores)
