A researcher discovers a new species of fungi that forms hyphae, but not septa. This fungus also lacks multicellular fruiting bo
dies, and does not appear to form either endomycorrhizae or ectomycorrhizae with plants. How should this fungus be classified? a) as a zygomycete.
b) as a chytrid.
c) as a basidiomycete.
d) as a glomeromycete.
e) as an ascomycete.
The phylum which is characterised by the aseptate hyphae or hypha without septate belongs to Zygomycete.
The members of Zygomycetes are categorized into 10 orders and 122 genera.The fungi mostly grow near the cow dung and lack the fruiting bodies. They reproduce both ways that are sexual and asexual by producing spores.
