Q.Name the four types of Ascocarps.

Traditional classification splits fungi into four classes - Phycomycetes (an umbrella for the algae-like 'lower fungi': Oomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes), Ascomycetes ('Sac fungi', producing ascospores inside a bag-like ascus, often via a hook-shaped ascogenous 'crozier', with fruiting bodies called ascocarps of four types - cleistothecium, perithecium, apothecium, pseudothecium), Basidiomycetes ('Club fungi', producing basidiospores exogenously on sterigmata from a club-shaped basidium, in a fruiting body called a basidiocarp, with a mycelium showing a bracket-like dolipore septum and clamp connections), and Deuteromycetes/Fungi Imperfecti (lacking sexual reproduction entirely, reproducing only by conidia/chlamydospores/budding/oidia, often via structures such as pycnidia, acervuli or synnemata, and showing a parasexual cycle instead of true sex). A later, more detailed 1979 scheme by Alexopoulos and Mims used three divisions (Gymnomycota, Mastigomycota, Amastigomycota), 8 subdivisions and …
