Why are some fungi grouped under fungi imperfecti?

Open in App
Solution

Some fungi such as Deuteromycota are fallen under fungi imperfecti because these fungi do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological characteristics of sexual structures because their sexual form of reproduction has never been observed only their asexual form of reproduction is known, which is by sporogenesis.
