Hyphomycetes/Scientific names
Where is hyphomycetes found?
(Hyphomycetes) A common saprobe found on decaying wood, decaying plants, food, soil, and outdoor air. Some species are plant pathogens. Indoors, it can be found in house dust, carpet, damp areas around showers and window frames, and anywhere condensation occurs.
Is hyphomycetes unicellular or multicellular?
Septation [one-celled, two-celled, multicelled with transverse septa only, or multicelled with both transverse and longitudinal septa]. Shape [spherical, subspherical, pyriform, clavate, ellipsoidal etc]. Size [need graduated eye piece, length <10μm or >10μm etc]. Colour [hyaline or darkly pigmented].
What do you mean by fungi imperfecti?
The fungi imperfecti or imperfect fungi, are fungi which 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.
How do hyphomycetes reproduce?
Hyphomycetes are asexual reproductive structures produced directly on their substrate without any kind of enclosing tissues. The most common function of hyphomycetes is reproduction and dispersal, although in some species the conidia may act as gametes or “spermatia” that can fertilize an incipient dikaryon.

What do you mean by fungi Imperfecti and why are they called so discuss about their life cycle?
Deuteromycota
The division Deuteromycota is also called the Fungi Imperfecti or Imperfect Fungi referring to our “imperfect” knowledge of their complete life cycles. The Deuteromycota are characterized by production of septate mycelium and/or yeasts, and a sexual life cycle that is either unknown or absent.
Why are some fungi Imperfecti?
(a) The ‘imperfect fungi’ are kept in class deuteromycetes. They are called as imperfect because sexual reproduction is absent in these forms. (b)They reproduce only by asexual spores called conidia.
Which group of fungi is called imperfect fungi?
“Deuteromycetes,” the Fungi Imperfecti. The deuteromycetes, commonly called molds, are “second-class” fungi that have no known sexual state in their life cycle, and thus reproduce only by producing spores via mitosis. They are also known as the fungi imperfecti, because of their “imperfect” lack of sex.

What are hyphomycetes and what do they do to plants?
Hyphomycetes are primary pathogens of plants and weeds, causing root, stem, and leaf necrosis; diebacks; cankers; wilts; and blights. By infesting or contaminating seed, they can transmit seed-borne defects or reduce seed viability.
How are Coelomycetes related to the Hyphomycetes?
Related to Hyphomycetes: Coelomycetes. A class of mitosporic or anamorphic (asexual or imperfect) fungi belonging to the Deuteromycotina. They lack locular fruit bodies (conidiomata), and so sporulation occurs on separate or aggregated hyphae, which may or may not be differentiated; the thallus consists of septate hyphae.
What kind of reproductive structures do hyphomycetes have?
Hyphomycetes are saprophytic mycoflora having asexual reproductive structures mode, producing on substrate without enclosing tissues (lack closed fruiting bodies) and referred as an imperfecti fungi, called Deuteromycota (anamorphic fungi).
Are there any anamorphic fungi in the Hyphomycetes?
The Hyphomycetes, like other groups of Deuteromycetes, is an artificial one composed almost entirely of anamorphic fungi of ascomycete affinity. The majority are known anamorphs of Ascomycetes, although some have basidiomycete affinities. Several of the latter are aquatic or aero-aquatic.
