3. Asexual reproduction | Zoospores, Aplanospores, Chlamydospores, Sporangiospores | Conidia, Budding | Oidia, Basidiospores | Conidia |
4. Sexual reproduction | Isogamy Oogamy | Fusion of comapatable nuclei. Ascospores formed in Ascus | Somatogamy, basidiospores formed on sterigmata | Absent or unknown |
5. Fruiting body | Zygospore | Ascocarp (Cleistothecium, Perithecium, Apothecium) | Basidiocarp | Absent |
