Entomophthoromycota is a
saprobes.[3]
Taxonomy
Circumscribed by mycologist Richard Humber in 2012, it contains species formerly
classified in the division Zygomycota. Humber's reorganization divides the division into three classes while retaining the previously defined family structure:[2]

Genera that have an uncertain status or have been excluded from the Entomophthoromycota include Ballocephala, Tarichium, and Zygnemomyces.[3]
Synonyms from "Part 1- Virae, Prokarya, Protists, Fungi".[4] Ballocephala and Zygnemomyces were transferred to Mucoromycota division.
Description
