[Hyphomycetes] (moulds) may also be included in identification literature listed under the following higher taxa:

ASCOMYCOTA

Fungi s.l.
(fungi (in the broad sense))

Hyphomycetes are an unnatural (polyphyletic) group which is, basically, a dumping ground for those fungi of which the perfect (sexual) stage is unknown. Most are ascomycetes, but their reproduction is primarily by means of asexual spores (conidia). Under the right conditions many will produce fruiting bodies and their relationships can then be ascertained; often they turn out to be species which are already known.

The true identities of the hyphomycetes are slowly being ellucidated by culturing and, more recently, DNA analysis and the classification will eventually disappear. Nevertheless "hyphomycete" remains a useful descriptive term for the asexual states of ascomycetes.

Mycology has been called "The Study of Spores" and nowhere is this more the case than in the Hyphomycetes. The range of spore (conidia) shapes is truly astonishing, although one perhaps needs to have previously spent a few years studying agarics to appreciate the diversity!

The conidiophores are also of diagnostic importance.
