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)
