Classification of Fungi by Alexopoulos and Mims
Fungi are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that have important roles in the environment, agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. However, the classification of fungi is not a simple task, as there are many different criteria and methods that can be used to group them. One of the most influential and widely used systems of fungal classification was proposed by Constantine J. Alexopoulos and Charles W. Mims in their book Introductory Mycology . In this article, we will briefly summarize the main features and principles of their classification scheme.

The Kingdom Myceteae
Alexopoulos and Mims classified fungi and slime molds as belonging to the superkingdom Eukaryonta's kingdom Myceteae. The kingdom is divided into three phyla: Eumycota, Myxomycota, and Acrasiomycota. Each phylum is further subdivided into classes, subclasses, orders, families, genera, and species. The general overview of the classification is as follows :
Phylum
