Phycomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes and deuteromycetes are four classes of fungi which are divided on the basis of the septation of the mycelium and the characteristics features of reproduction. Phycomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes and deuteromycetes are respectively commonly known as algal like fungi, sac fungi, club fungi and fungi imperfecti.
