Fungi that only reproduce asexually

large and heterogeneous form division of fungi comprising forms for which no sexually reproductive stage is known

The Deuteromycota (Greek for "second fungi") were once considered a formal phylum of Fungi. The term is now used only informally, to denote species of fungi in the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota in which sexual reproduction is unknown. All fungi formerly classified in the Deuteromycota are now considered to be asexually-reproducing members of the fungal phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.
