Lab 7: Chytridiomycota & Oomycota |
 | | One group, the Chytridiomycota, is related to the remainder of the true fungi, while the other group, the Oömycota, is unrelated to the fungi, and is instead more closely related to the diatoms and brown algae. |
 | | Both the Oömycota and the Chytridiomycota have in the past been placed with the Fungi, and were referred to as the lower fungi, and they have both been removed from the fungi, to be placed with the Protista. |
 | | The Chytridiomycota and the Oömycota are primarily aquatic, the former often referred to as Chytrids (and sometimes as water molds), and the latter as oömycetes or water molds. |
