Which group of fungi is commonly known as imperfect fungi?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Deuteromycetes are commonly known as imperfect fungi because they lack a known sexual reproductive stage in their life cycle. They reproduce exclusively through asexual means, primarily by forming spores called conidia. Once a sexual phase is discovered for a member of this group, it is typically reclassified and moved into either the Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes.
