Dikarya is a subkingdom of Fungi that includes the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, both of which in general produce dikaryons. The Dikarya are most of the so called "Higher Fungi", but also include many anamorphic species that would have been classified as molds in historical literature[1]. Phylogenetically the two phyla regularly group together[2][3]. Scientific classification or biological classification refers to how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ... Divisions Chytridiomycota Zygomycota Ascomycota Basidiomycota The Fungi (singular: fungus) are a large group of organisms ranked as a kingdom within the Domain Eukaryota. ... Subphyla/Classes Archaeascomycetes Euascomycetes Hemiascomycetes or Pezizomycotina Laboulbeniomycetes Eurotiomycetes Lecanoromycetes Leotiomycetes Pezizomycetes Sordariomycetes Dothideomycetes (and many more) Saccharomycotina Saccharomycetes Taphrinomycotina Neolectomycetes Pneumocystidomycetes Schizosaccharomycetes Taphrinomycetes The Ascomycota, formerly known as the Ascomycetae, or Ascomycetes, are a Division of Fungi, whose members are commonly known as the Sac Fungi, which produce spores... Classes Subdivision Teliomycotina Urediniomycetes Subdivision Ustilaginomycotina Ustilaginomycetes Subdivision Hymenomycotina Homobasidiomycetes- mushrooms Heterobasidiomycetes- jelly fungi The Division Basidiomycota is a large taxon within the Kingdom Fungi that includes those species that produce spores in a club-shaped structure called a basidium. ... Dikaryon is from Greek, di meaning 2 and karyon meaning nut, refering to the nucleus of the cell. ... In biology, fungi are placed into particular taxa based on reproductive similarities. ...
