State

Treating mold and mushroom as unrelated organisms overstates the case — both names describe a growth form, and either can belong to the same phylum.

Show

Some molds and some mushroom-forming species classify within Ascomycota or Basidiomycota, distinguished by growth form, not by deep ancestry.

Watch for

This entry states the confident misreading — Bio 2049 restates growth form against taxonomic group to correct it.
