Mucorales Basal lineages of terrestrial fungi are traditionally summarized to the Zygomycota in a colloquial sense (Voigt 2012). The conquest of land as earliest fungi facilitated the invention of aplanosporic mitospores which do not rely on water for dispersal. Based on the potential to form zygospores during conjugation of two yoke-shaped gametangia it is [...]
