Also known as the "
Imperfect Fungi", Deuteromycota are
fungi with no apparent method of
sexual reproduction, instead using
conidia. Some Deuteromycota have been found to actually have a sexual stage, after their initial classification. These are renamed and classified with usually
Ascomycetes or
Basidiomycetes.
Also, a really fun insult to use if you're a
geeky loser, like myself. I find calling someone a fungus with no apparent sexual reproduction to be very satisfying. Calling someone a
Myxomycota is rolls off the tongue a bit better, though, but I still like the added asexualness of deuteromycota.
