Common mistakes in Fungi - classes and their reproduction
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Confuses asexual conidia with sexual ascospores or basidiospores.
- Uses the spore-bearing structure of basidiomycetes instead of asci.
- Classifies fungi without using their characteristic reproductive structures.
