Introduction: Fungi are haploid eukaryotic organisms having hair like hyphae which cluster together to form mycelium. They can be single-celled or multi-celled organisms. They are mostly saprophytic but the parasitic form is present. They are the biggest factor of loss of farm produce. In recent years fungi are used to produce a variety of biochemical, enzymes, and drugs.
To justify: Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes are regarded as “sister clades”.
