Amastigomycota orEufungi is aclade offungi. It includes all fungi withoutflagella orcentrioles, and with unstacked Golgi apparatuscisternae. Members of this clade areDikarya and the traditional paraphyletic assemblage "Zygomycota",[1][2][3] now divided into several monophyletic phyla.[4]
At the time, the monophyly of Fungi (Eumycota) was not fully certain. Cavalier-Smith considered one scenario where Eufungi could be ancestral or basal to other eukaryotes due to their relatively simple cytology and small genome, though he favoured the hypothesis of fungal monophyly,[2] which is now the consensus.[4]
