A phylum-level phylogenetic classification of zygomycete …
Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of multicellular sporocarps, and production of coenocytic hyphae, all with some exceptions.
Zygomycota: Life Cycle & Reproduction - Vaia
Zygomycota is a class of fungi that exhibits an intricate life cycle and includes species like Rhizopus stolonifer. The life cycle of Zygomycota encompasses both sexual and asexual reproduction, alternating between non-motile sporangiospores, coenocytic hyphae, and the formation of a zygosporangium within which a zygospore develops.
Zygomycota (Chapter 7) - Introduction to Fungi
The phylum Zygomycota comprises the first group of fungi considered in this book which lacks any motile stage. Asexual reproduction is by spores which are called aplanospores because they are non-motile, and sporangiospores because they are typically contained within sporangia.
