DEUTEROMYCETES 



The members of the present group of fungi have of late 

 years been considered to represent conidial forms of the 

 Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, and by philosophical 

 mycologists are usually very briefly alluded to under the 

 designation of ' Fungi imperfecti.' This line of reasoning 

 is supported by the fact that several forms have been 

 absolutely proved to be only phases in the life-cycle of 

 higher species. As examples may be mentioned such 

 form-genera as Uredo, Aeridium, Tubercularia, Oidium, 

 Botrytis, Isaria, etc.
