Kingdom : Myceteae (Fungi)

Formally, Kingdom Myceteae (Fungi) is defined as achlorophyllous, saprophytic or parasitic organisms, unicellular or multicellular (with a mycelium), surrounded by a chitinous cell wall, absorptive in nutrition (except the slime moulds), and reproducing by both asexual and sexual methods. Within this kingdom, three Divisions are recognised. Division I - Gymnomycota: phagotrophic in nutrition, and its members lack a cell wall altogether (e.g. Dictyostelium). Division II - Mastigomycota: possesses flagellate cells (gametes or zoospores), is absorptive in nutrition, and has a coenocytic mycelium (e.g. Albugo). Division III - Amastigomycota: ranges from unicellular to multicellular, and has a septate mycelium. Each division is then formally split further into subdivisions and classes, giving the co …
