SUBKINGDOM THALLOMYCOTINA

This subkingdom includes the common fungi.  Mostly thalloid in form and delineated by the production of particular sexual spores, these three phyla are well-defined.  This system for the Zygomycota is an adaptation of Hudson (1984) and Alexopoulos and Mims (1979, 1995) and generally follows the system of Adl et al. (2005).  The system of the Ascomycota is after Ericksson (2000) and that of the Basidiomycota after Knudsen (1995).
