Fungi

A fungus (: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes yeast and mold as well as the mushroom. These organisms are classified in the biological kingdom Fungi.

Microfungi or micromycetes are fungi—eukaryotic organisms such as molds, mildews and rusts—which have microscopic spore-producing structures. They exhibit tube tip-growth and have cell walls composed of chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. Microfungi are a paraphyletic group, distinguished from macrofungi only by the absence of a large, multicellular fruiting body. They are ubiquitous in all terrestrial and freshwater and marine environments, and grow in plants, soil, water, insects, cattle rumens, hair, and skin. Most of the fungal body consists of microscopic threads, called hyphae, ext

The Basidiobolaceae are a family of fungi in the monotypic order Basidiobolales. All fungal cells of this family are exclusively uninucleate and their relatively large nuclei contain a nucleolus, but no heterochromatin.

Basidiobolus is a fungus genus. It was circumscribed by the mycologist in 1886, with Basidiobolus ranarum assigned as the type species.
