Deuteromycetes (imperfect fungi) -

  • Mycelium is branched, filamentous and septate
  • They can be saprophytic, parasitic or decomposers.
  • Asexual reproduction occurs through conidiospore formation.  
  • Sexual reproduction is absent in them and that is why they are called imperfect fungi.

The imperfect fungi which are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling belong to Deuteromycetes.
