The name Zygomycota refers to the zygosporangia characteristically formed by the members of this clade, in which resistant spherical spores are formed during sexual reproduction. Zygos is Greek for "joining" or "a yoke", referring to the fusion of two hyphal strands which produces these spores, and -mycota is a suffix referring to a division of ...
The Zoopagomycotina are a subdivision (incertae sedis) of the fungal division Zygomycota sensu lato. [1] It contains 5 families and 20 genera. [2] Relationships among and within subphyla of Zygomycota are poorly understood, and their monophyly remains in question, so they are sometimes referred to by the informal name zygomycetes.
Mortierellales Caval.-Sm., 1998 is a monotypic fungal order, [1] [2] within the phylum of Zygomycota and the monotypic, division of Mortierellomycota. [3] It contains only 1 known family, Mortierellaceae Luerss., Handb. Syst. Bot. 1: 63. 1877, and 6 genera and around 129 species.

Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi on plants and specialized parasites on animals. They are found in a wide variety of organic substances, including "mature fruits and vegetables", [2] jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts, and tobacco.
Most species of the entomophthorales produce ballistic asexual spores that are forcibly discharged. When not landing on a suitable host, these spores can germinate to make one of several alternate spore forms, including a smaller version of the original spore, or (in some species) an adhesive spore elevated on a very slender conidiophore called a capilliconidiophore.
