Imperfect fungi are considered imperfect because they do not exhibit in any of its life cycle both means of reproduction - sexual and asexual reproduction. Their most common means of reproduction is by asexual reproduction.
AnswerThey were called imperfect because no one understood their life styles "perfectly". Also there is current debate over how to classify these fungi. The imperfect fungi were once grouped in the phylum Deuteromycota, however this phylum has been removed and there is currently no place for these asexual fungi in the current fungal classification system.It is because there has never been a sexual reproductive stage observed from them.

∙ 11y agoMost imperfect fungi are believed to be related to the sac fungi because their conidiophores closely resemble those produced by the sac fungi during their sexual phase. The imperfect fungi are not placed in the Ascomycota phylum because classification of that group is based on the morphology of sexual structures which the Deuteromycota do not have.

What are some examples of imperfect Fungi?
Penicillium, aspergillus, etc. They are considered to be imperfect fungi because they cannot be fully classified as ascomycotans because they do not fully exhibit sexual reproduction. Phyllum Deuteromycota serves as temporary shelter for unclassified fungi, usually former ascomycotans. So called "imperfect fungi" since they do not exhibit a sexual phase, just as imperfect and perfect flowers are named. Aspergillus and Penicillium have a counterpart in Ascomycota wherein they are sexual though. Eurotium and Talaromyces, respectively.

Why is Penicillium an imperfect fungi?
Scientists often divide fungi into four groups: club fungi, molds, sac fungi, and imperfect fungi,Each type of fungi is classified based on the way it reproduces. The way that these fungi reproduce is difficult to understand and they are hard to classify into what would be called 'normal' sexual reproduction.
