Historical Classification of The Imperfect Fungi
These groups are no longer formally accepted because they do not adhere to the principle of monophyly. The taxon names are sometimes used informally. In particular, the term 'hyphomycetes' is often used to refer to molds, and the term 'coelomycetes' is used to refer to many asexually reproducing plant pathogens that form discrete fruiting bodies. Other systems of classification are reviewed by Kendrick (1981).
- Class Hyphomycetes lacking fruiting bodies
- Order Moniliales (producing spores on simple conidiophores)
- Order Stilbellales (producing spores on synnemata)
- Order Tuberculariales (producing spores in sporodochia)
- Class Coelomycetes spores produced in fruiting bodies
- Order Melanconiales (producing spores in acervuli)
- Order Sphaeropsidales (producing spores in pycnidia)
- Class Agonomycetes lacking spores

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or imperfect:
“Yet the companions of the Muses
will keep their collective nose in my books
And weary with historical data, they will turn to my dance tune.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“I ... observed the great beauty of American government to be, that the simple machines of representation, carried through all its parts, gives facility for a being moulded at will to fit with the knowledge of the age; that thus, although it should be imperfect in any or all of its parts, it bears within it a perfect principle the principle of improvement.

—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
