Symbiomycota
Symbiomycota is a clade of fungi containing both Glomeromycota and Dikarya. It includes all mycorrhizal fungi except '' Endogone'' and the Mucoromycotina fine root endophytes, which both belong in Mucoromycota. Symbiomycota is supported by phylogenetic analyses based on ribosomal DNA and rpb2 data but not from rpb1 data. More recent analyses using genome-scale, multilocus protein sequence data have either recovered this clade or have failed to recover it, with Glomeromycota falling within Mucoromycota instead (forming Mucoromyceta). Etymology The name references symbiosis Symbiosis (Ancient Greek : living with, companionship < : together; and ''bíōsis'': living) is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction, between two organisms of different species. The two organisms, termed symbionts, can fo ...

Fungi By Classification
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true fungi'' or ''Eumycete ...
