Solution:

Commonly known as sac-fungi, the ascomycetes are mostly multicellular, e.g., Penicillium, or rarely unicellular, e.g., yeast (Saccharomyces). They are saprophytic, decomposers, parasitic or coprophilous (growing on dung). Mycelium is branched, septate and non-coenocytic in nature. Some examples are Aspergillus, Claviceps, Neurospora, morels, truffles and Claviceps. Neurospora is used extensively in biochemical and genetic studies.
