- BClass Common name Mycelium Member Ascomycetes Sac fungi Aseptate Morels, truffles, Aspergillus , Neurospora
- CClass Common name Mycelium Member Basidiomycetes Club fungi Septate Rust fungi, smut fungi, Agaricus
- DClass Common name Mycelium Member Deuteromycetes Imperfect fungi Septate Trichoderma , red rot, early blight
Correct answer
B. Class Common name Mycelium Member Ascomycetes Sac fungi Aseptate Morels, truffles, Aspergillus , Neurospora
Step-by-step solution
Commonly known as sac-fungi, the ascomycetes are mostly multicellular, e.g., Penicillium , or rarely unicellular, e.g., yeast ( Saccharomyces ). They are saprophytic, decomposers, parasitic or coprophilous (growing on dung). Mycelium is branched, septate and non-coenocytic in nature. Some examples are Aspergillus , Claviceps , Neurospora , morels, truffles and Claviceps . Neurospora is used extensively in biochemical and genetic studies.
