Which characteristic could you distinguish between types of fungi?
answer
the shape of the fruiting bodies on the fungi
the color of the fungi
the spores made by the fungi
the growing location of the fungi

The correct answer would be the spores made by the fungi.

The major phyla of the fungi are usually classified on the basis of characteristics of sexual structures.

For instance, the chytridiomycota produce zoospores, the blastocladiomycota undergo sporic meiosis, the ascomycota forms ascospores et cetera.

Fungi are mainly classified into seven phyla:

Microsporidia

Chytridiomycota

Blastocladiomycota

Neocallimastigomycota

Glomeromycota

Ascomycota

Basidiomycota
