Terible

Haha Why? I checked out and there are seven major phyla, or divisions, which makes up the basic characteristics of a fungi's reproductive components. These are – basidiomycota, ascomycota, microsporidia, glomeromycota, neocallimastigomycota, chytridiomycota and finally blastocladiomycota.

Fungus belongs to a large kingdom of small micro-organisms that destroy its surrounding for their own existence. Analysis of phylogenetic have demonstrated microsporidia that is a unicellular parasite is kind of endobiotic fungi, this is a kind of fungi that lives inside tissues of other species.

Terrible because everythings changes very fast in taxonomy.  For instance, 20 years ago there was only one phylum called Mycophyta which contained all the mushrooms. Many people used to think fungi are plants - which they aren't.
I, for instance, find difficult to believe Plasmopara viticola is not a fungus, but a protist, since I have learned about it when the Oomycetes were classified as fungi. I bet those 7 phyla won't look the same in a couple of years.
