Correct answer
D. Class Member Common name Ascomycetes Puffballs, Truffles, Claviceps Sac fungi
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 and septate. Some examples are Aspergillus, Claviceps, and Neurospora. Neurospora is used extensively in biochemical and genetic work. Morrels and truffles are edible fungi. Puffballs belongs to basidiomycetes.
