Chytridiomycetes has recently been redefined to exclude the taxa Neocallimastigomycota and Monoblepharidomycetes, which are now a phylum and a sister-class respectively. Fungi of the order Chytridiales, like other members of its Phylum, may either have a monocentric thallus or be polycentric Rhizomycelial The Rhizophydiales are an order of Fungi that include the following Genera: Rhizophydium Schenk 1858 Spizellomycetales is an order of fungi that include the following genra: Spizellomyces D A taxon (plural taxa) or taxonomic unit, is a name designating an organism or a group of Organisms In Biological nomenclature according to Neocallimastigomycota is a Phylum of Anaerobic Fungi, found mainly within the Stomachs of Ruminants, but with possible Members of the Monoblepharidomycetes have a filamentous Thallus that is either extensive or simple and unbranched A phylum ( Plural: phyla) is a Taxonomic rank between Kingdom and above Class. A class is the Taxonomic rank in the Biological classification of organisms in Biology below phylum and above order. It includes the genera Olpidiopsis and Hypochytrium in addition to the type genus. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In biology the phrase type genus is used differently depending on the nomenclatural ''Code'' that applies In zoological nomenclature, a type [2]
They are found in soil, fresh water, and saline estuaries. They are primitive fungi, closely related to the true fungi, and are first known from the Rhynie chert. The Rhynie chert is an Early Devonian Lagerstätte found near the village of Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, containing exceptionally [3]
