Why deutromytes called imperfect fungi??

Hello,

deuteromycetes are called imperfert fungi as these are fungi which do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological characteristics of sexual structures because their sexual form of reproduction has never been observed. Only their asexual form of reproduction is known, meaning that these fungi produce their spores asexually, in the process called sporogenesis.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello!!

fungi imperfecti or imperfect fungi , also known as Deuteromycetes , are fungi which do not fit into the commonly established taxonomic classifications of fungi that are based on biological species concepts or morphological characteristics of sexual structures because their sexual form of reprodiction is not known. When there mode of serial reproduction will be known they would be shifted into any one of the known category of fungi.
