<P> The 2007 classification of Kingdom Fungi is the result of a large - scale collaborative research effort involving dozens of mycologists and other scientists working on fungal taxonomy . It recognizes seven phyla , two of which -- the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota -- are contained within a branch representing subkingdom Dikarya , the most species rich and familiar group , including all the mushrooms , most food - spoilage molds , most plant pathogenic fungi , and the beer , wine , and bread yeasts . The accompanying cladogram depicts the major fungal taxa and their relationship to opisthokont and unikont organisms , based on the work of Philippe Silar , `` The Mycota : A Comprehensive Treatise on Fungi as Experimental Systems for Basic and Applied Research '' and Tedersoo et al. 2018 . The lengths of the branches are not proportional to evolutionary distances . </P>
