The largest group of recorded fungi in the world belongs to ascomycetes with 64,163 species. These fungi are decomposers of organic matter and popularly known as bluish-green, red or brown molds. Like all fungi, ascomycetes are formed by hyphae. The hyphae of this group are structures of sexual reproduction, macroscopic and of short duration in a life cycle; form ascos that are cylindrical and sac-shaped structures producing ascospores, the spores of this group.
The correct answer will be Ascomycetes or sac fungi.
Explanation:
Ascomycetes or sac fungi is a group of fungi which produce haploid spores in elongated sac like structures called asci.
Sac fungi are hetertrophic which means they can have three different methods of obtaining food. They can be saprophytes (decomposers) or parasitic (pathogens) or mutualistic. Decomposer fungi species of ascomycetes <em>Rhizopus </em>grows on dead or decaying organisms and take nutrition from them.
