Ainsworth’s classification (1966, 1973) included kingdom Fungi with Myxomycota and Eumycota divisions. The Eumycota division was divided into 5 sub-divisions, viz., mastigomycotina, zygomycotina, ascomycotina, basidiomycotina and deuteromycotina which were further sub-divided into (classes, orders and so on).
Who gave classification of fungi?
Alexopolous and Mims proposed fungal classification in 1979. They place the fungi including the slime molds in the kingdom mycetae of the super kingdom Eukaryota which, in addition, includes four other kingdoms.

Which of the follwing have the Septate and branched Mycellium 1 Phycomycete 2 Ascomycete 3 Basidiomycete 4 Deuteromycete?
So, the correct option is ‘Phycomycetes’.
What are the 3 types of fungus?
The three major groups of fungi are:
- Multicellular filamentous moulds.
- Macroscopic filamentous fungi that form large fruiting bodies.

What is the basis of classification of fungi explain?
Fungi are classified on the basis of sexual reproduction. They are classified into five phyla, namely Chytridiomycota (Chytrids), Zygomycota (conjugated fungi), the Ascomycota (sac fungi), Basidiomycota (club fungi) and Glomeromycota. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
How many Division are there in classification system of fungi given by CI Alexopoulos?
