variety of ways, though sexual reproduction is known to occur
in certain Phycomycetes, or so-called algal fungi.

from various alg[ae], losing their chlorophyll on
assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. By some they
are divided into the subclasses Phycomycetes, the
lower or algal fungi; the Mesomycetes, or
intermediate fungi; and the Mycomycetes, or the
higher fungi; by others into the Phycomycetes; the
