1. **Chytridiomycota** (Chytrids)
2. **Zygomycota** (Zygomycetes)
3. **Ascomycota** (Sac Fungi)
4. **Basidiomycota** (Club Fungi)
5. **Glomeromycota** (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi)
6. **Neocallimastigomycota** (Anaerobic Fungi)
7. **Microsporidia** (Obligate Intracellular Parasites)
8. **Blastocladiomycota** (Blastoclades)
9. **Entomophthoromycota** (Entomophthoromycetes)
10. **Mucoromycota** (Mucoromycetes)
11. **Taphrinomycota** (Taphrinomycetes)
12. **Pezizomycota** (Pezizomycetes)
13. **Sordariomycota** (Sordariomycetes)
14. **Eurotiomycota** (Eurotiomycetes)
15. **Dikarya** (a subkingdom that includes Ascomycota and Basidiomycota)
16. **Lecanoromycetes** (part of Ascomycota, includes many lichens)
17. **Agaricomycetes** (part of Basidiomycota, includes mushrooms)
18. **Ustilaginomycetes** (smut fungi)
19. **Tremellomycetes** (jelly fungi)
20. **Atheliales** (a class of fungi)
21. **Myxozoa** (a group of parasitic protozoans, historically sometimes classified with fungi)
22. **Allomyces** (Aquatic Chytrids)
23. **Phaeophyceae** (Brown Algae, historically sometimes considered in fungi)
24. **Fungi incertae sedis** (fossil fungi and other uncertain classifications)
25. **Entomophthorales** (an order of pathogens)
26. **Mucorales** (an order of zygomycetes)
27. **Tuberales** (truffles and a type of mycorrhizal fungus)
28. **Lichinaceae** (a family within Ascomycota)
29. **Neomycetes** (a group of non-pathogenic fungi)
30. **Chrysophyta** (Golden Algae, sometimes mentioned with fungi)
31. **Amoebozoa** (though not fungi, related in discussions)
32. **Zygomycetes** (now often included in Mucoromycota but historically recognized)
33. **Lecanorales** (an order within Ascomycota)
34. **Dothideomycetes** (a class within Ascomycota)
35. **Myxomycetes** (slime molds, historically considered fungi)

Note that classifications can change as new molecular techniques and phylogenetic studies provide deeper insights into the relationships among fungi. The above list may vary based on different taxonomic schemes and definitions.
