Examples
- The fungi imperfecti, also known as Deuteromycota, is a large and heterogeneous form division of fungi comprising forms for which no sexually reproductive stage is known.
- The classification of fungi imperfecti is often based on the characteristics of their asexual spores and the structures that produce them.
- Fungi imperfecti are typically saprotrophic or parasitic, and are found in a wide range of environments, including soil, decaying organic matter, and living organisms.
- Many species of fungi imperfecti are economically important, as they are used in the production of antibiotics, enzymes, and other valuable compounds.
- The study of fungi imperfecti is challenging due to the lack of a known sexual stage, which makes it difficult to determine their evolutionary relationships with other fungi.
