what is the difference between ascomycotes and zygomycotes

Ascomycetes produce their spores in sac-like structures called asci, while zygomycetes produce their spores in sporangia. Additionally, ascomycetes often have a more complex structure with septate hyphae, while zygomycetes typically have a simpler structure with coenocytic hyphae.
Ascomycetes have specialized spore-bearing structures called asci, while phycomycetes produce spores in sporangia. Ascomycetes have a sexual reproductive structure called ascocarp, whereas phycomycetes lack a well-defined sexual reproductive structure. Additionally, ascomycetes typically have septate hyphae, while phycomycetes have coenocytic hyphae (lacking septa).
Mold fungi, such as bread mold (Rhizopus) and black mold (Aspergillus), have a thread-like or fuzzy appearance. These fungi belong to the group known as Zygomycetes and Ascomycetes, which are common sporangium fungi that produce spores in specialized structures called sporangia.
Common name for unicellular ascomycetes, including that used in baking
Yes, Ascomycetes produce spores within sac-like structures called asci, which are typically contained within a structure called an ascocarp.
Zygomycetes are mostly multicellular organisms, forming a network of branching filaments called hyphae. However, some species within this group can exist in a unicellular form during certain stages of their life cycle.
