Zygomycota
Most of the fungi belonging to the phylum Zygomycota are saprobes. They are
commonly known as sugar or pin molds. They can reproduce both sexually and
asexually. For sexual reproduction, they produce zygospores, while asexual reproduction
is carried out by means of sporangiospores. Some common species of zygomycota
include black bread mold, mucor, rhizomucor, rhizopus and pilobus species.
