Detailed explanation-1: -There are seven phyla in Kingdom Fungi, mostly classified by their form of sexual reproduction. The Zygomycota reproduce sexually with spores called zygospores and asexually with sporangiospores. Basidiomycetes produce spores called basidiospores on club-like stalks called basidia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phyla within the fungi are defined primarily on the basis of life cycles, mode of reproduction, and cell wall and septum structure. Currently the kingdom consists of the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, and Glomeromycota.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi can be divided into two basic morphological forms, yeasts and hyphae. Yeastsare unicellular fungi which reproduce asexually by blastoconidia formation (budding) or fission. Hyphaeare multi-cellular fungi which reproduce asexually and/or sexually.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the mycelium of a fungus reaches a certain stage of growth, it begins to produce spores either directly on the somatic hyphae or, more often, on special sporiferous (spore-producing) hyphae, which may be loosely arranged or grouped into intricate structures called fruiting bodies, or sporophores.
