State
"Mold," "yeast," and "mushroom" name growth forms, not taxonomic groups — one fungal phylum can include species showing any of the three.
Show
Aspergillus grows as a fuzzy mold and classifies within Ascomycota, the same phylum that includes non-mold sac fungi like morels.
Watch for
"Mold and mushroom are unrelated," per Bio 2047, confuses growth form with ancestry — this entry restores the distinction.
