Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota are three major phyla of fungi.
Zygomycota: This phylum includes fungi that reproduce sexually by forming zygospores. Common examples of Zygomycota include black bread mold and Rhizopus.
Ascomycota: The fungi in this phylum reproduce sexually by forming asci, which are sac-like structures that contain spores. Ascomycota includes more than 60,000 species, including yeasts, molds, and truffles.
Basidiomycota: This phylum includes fungi that reproduce sexually by producing basidiospores. Basidiomycota includes over 30,000 species, including mushrooms, puffballs, bracket fungi and rusts.
