Phylum: CHYTRIDIOMYCO

These organisms, commonly called "chytrids", are aquatic or live in damp soil. Many are parasitic on algae, fungi, mosses, and higher plants.
The primitive Members of the division Chytridiomycota have unicellular form (entirely converted into a reproductive sporangium) while the higher have both broad true hyphae and narrow rhizoids. Their cell wall composition is mostly chitin, and cellulose is not known to occur. This division has been classified with the true fungi even though flagellated spores and gametes are produced. Gametes and zoospores have a single, posterior whiplash flagellum. Sexual reproduction is variable and may be isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous. The division has a single class, the Chytridiomycetes
