Question
A fungus has aseptate, coenocytic mycelium. Its motile or non-motile asexual spores are produced inside a sporangium, and sexual reproduction produces a zygospore. To which class does it belong?

Phycomycetes possess aseptate and coenocytic mycelium. Their asexual spores are motile zoospores or non-motile aplanospores produced endogenously in sporangia, while fusion of gametes produces a zygospore.
