Question

A biologist is in the process of classifying and newly discovered fungus. The fungus is a decomposer and has sac-like structures. To which group does the organism most likely belong?

Answer 1

fungi that makes blue cheese

Answer 2

There are six major 'divisions' of fungi and those which produce sac-like structures are the division called Ascomycota. It is therefore most likely that the new fungus can be classified within this division. This group produces spores in distinctive sac-like structures. Members of the division include yeasts and penicillin.
