Question

deuteromycetes are known as imperfect fungi cuz they lack sexual reproductive cycle. but even in basidiomycetes sexual organs are absent. then why basidiomycetes r not known as imperfect??

Answer 1

Dear Student,

It is true that deutromycetes are imperfect fungi mainly because they lack sexual cycle and reproduction is asexual but in case of Basidiomycetes, the reproduction is sexual through club shaped spores called basidia.
