Base on the morphology of the mycelium, mode of spore
formation and fruiting bodies, Kingdom Fungi are classified into:

Phycomycetes: They are found in aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in moist and damp places. The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic. Example: Albugo.

Ascomycetes: They are commonly known as sac-fungi. They are saprophytic, decomposers, parasitic or coprophilous (growing on dung). Mycelium is branched and septate. Example: Neurospora.

Basidiomycetes: They are commonly bracket fungi or puffballs. They grow in soil, on logs and tree stumps and in living plant bodies as parasites, e.g., rusts and smuts. The mycelium is branched and septate. Example: Agaricus.

Deuteromycetes: They are commonly known as imperfect fungi. The mycelium is septate and branched. Example: Trichoderma.
