Blastocladiomycota
Blastocladiomycota is one of the currently recognized phyla within the kingdom Fungi. Blastocladiomycota was originally the order Blastocladiales within the phylum Chytridiomycota until molecular and zoospore ultrastructural characters were used to demonstrate it was not monophyletic with Chytridiomycota. The order was first erected by Petersen for a single genus, Blastocladia, which was originally considered a member of the oomycetes. Accordingly, members of Blastocladiomycota are often referred to colloquially as "chytrids." However, some feel "chytrid" should refer only to members of Chytridiomycota. Thus, members of Blastocladiomyota are commonly called "blastoclads" by mycologists. Alternatively, members of Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Neocallimastigomycota lumped together as the zoosporic true fungi. Blastocladiomycota contains 5 families and approximately 12 genera. This early diverging branch of kingdom Fungi is the first to exhibit alternation of generations. As well, two (once) popular model organisms—Allomyces macrogynus and Blastocladiella emersonii—belong to this phylum.

Blastocladiomycota
Blastocladiomycota is one of eight currently recognized phyla within the kingdom Fungi. These zoosporic fungi are found in soil and fresh water habitats and are mostly detritivores, subsisting on decaying organic matter. Three of the five families within Blastocladiomycota exclusively contain pathogens. These infect species such as water bears, the plankton Daphnia, nematodes, various aquatic and semi-aquatic plants, and mosquito larvae. Blastoclades were originally included in the phylum Chytridiomycota until DNA sequencing in 2006 elevated it and its "sister phylum" Neocallimastigomycota.
