Phylum is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Kingdom - Taxonomy]] and before [[Class - Taxonomy]].
Each kingdom contains a number of phyla:
Animalia: ~31
Plantae...). They can be divided into 3 groups based on their similarities. All phyla in the fungal kingdom have a name suffix -mycota while subphyla have a suffix -mycotina.
Fungi that are zoosporic, single-celled, flagellated
- Cryptomycota
- Chytridiomycota
- Blastocladiomycota
Fungi that don't have flagellum, but grow with filamentous hyphae
- Mucuromycota
- Zoopagomycota
- Glomeromycota
Subkingdom Dikarya - fungi that have two nuclei per cell
These are also known as the "higher funghi" and are the only fungi to produce MushroomMushroom
