Fungi saprotrophici vel raro mycoparasiti facultativi, gallas facientes, haustoriis carentes, raro<br />
ectomycorrhizam facientes. Mycelium ramosum, juvene coenocyticum, maturum aliquando septis<br />
microporosis divisum. Reproductio asexualis sporangiis vel sporangiolis vel merosporangiis, raro<br />

Fungi saprobes, or rarely gall-<strong>for</strong>ming, nonhaustorial, facultative mycoparasites, or<br />
<strong>for</strong>ming ectomycorrhiza. Mycelium branched, coenocytic when young, sometimes<br />
producing septa that contain micropores at maturity. Asexual reproduction by<br />
sporangia, sporangiola, or merosporangia, or rarely by chlamydospores, arthrospores,<br />
or blastospores. Sexual reproduction by more or less globose zygospores <strong>for</strong>med on<br />
opposed or apposed suspensors.<br />
This group includes the Mucorales, which is the core group of the traditional<br />
Zygomycota. Monophyly of the traditional Zygomycota (including Mucorales, Glomerales,<br />
Entomophthorales and Harpellales) was suggested by a recent study by Liu et al. (2006)<br />
using rpb1 and rpb2, but that finding conflicts with results of analyses that included<br />
