In this article we will discuss about the classification of Fungi Imperfecti. The classification of Fungi Imperfecti is completely artificial. It separates many genera, which had their sexual stages been known, would have been near each other. It is based on their conidial peculiarities and bears no connection to their sexual stage not to their origin or evolution. It cannot, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the general features and development of deuteromycetes. General Features of Deuteromycetes: This class comprises a group of fungi in which only the asexual or imperfect stage is known. The sexual stage also called the perfect stage is unknown. The latter is either non-existent or has not been discovered so far. The life cycle [...]
The following points highlight the two types of conidia found on free conidiophores. The types are: 1. Thallospores 2. Conidiospores. Type # 1. Thallospores: These are asexual spores formed by the transformation of existing cells of the thallus.
