As we learnt in

Basidiomycetes / Club fungi -

  1. Mycelium is septate and branched.
  2. Sexual reproduction is somatogamy.
  3. They decompose cellulose and lignin.
  4. Basidiospores formed exogenously on sterigmata
  5. Fruiting body is basidiocarp.

- wherein

Eg. Agaricus, Ustilago, Puccinia.

 

 

Deuteromycetes / Fungi imperfecti -

  1. Mycelium is seperate and branched.
  2. Sexual reproduction absent
  3. Fruiting body absent.
  4. Asexual reproduction by conidia.

- wherein

Eg. Alternaria, Trichoderma.

 

 

Ascomycetes / Sac fungi -

  1. Mycelium is septate and branched.
  2. Sexual reproduction is Isogamy or anisogamy.
  3. Four to eight ascospores are formed in an ascus.
  4. Fruiting body is Ascocarp.
  5. Centrum is present.

- wherein

Eg. Saccharomyces, cerevisiae, Baker's yeast, Penicillium.

 

 

In Agaricus (a genus of basidiomycetes), basidiospores or meiospores are produced exogenously.

-Neurospora (a genus of ascomycetes) produces ascospores as meiospores but endogenously inside the ascus.

-Alternaria (a genus of deuteromycetes) does not produce sexual spores. 

-Saccharomyces (Unicellular ascomycetes) produces ascospores, endogenously.
