Abstract

Mycology is the sciences of the botanical sciences which are concerned with the all aspects of the fungal biology as well as the cultivation and the propagation of the fungi of the commercial importance. They have the long history from the time of the roman and the babylones. They have been classified various way and they have many of the features of the great taxonomic values. Cumulatively they been grouped as the zygomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes Ascomycetes. In this review article we are presenting some of the aspects of the class Zygomycetes, which is famous for the formation of the zygospores which is the resting body and they have the coenocytes mycelium, they are the saprophytes as well as the parasites, they produces the many dieases of the commercial values. However many previous workers done the extensive research work on the zygomycetes but in the recent era many more phylogenetic work on the zygomycetes have been done. The group is very valuable from the phyogenetic point of view.

Keywords: Zygomycetes, parasites, saprophytes, taxonomic values, coenocetic mycelium.
