Imperfect Fungi

The third type of fungi are imperfect fungi. Species within this group can produce the antibiotic penicillin while other species cause athlete's foot and ringworm. In addition, some species are used to make Roquefort and Camembert cheeses. These fungi are named imperfect because scientists cannot figure out how they reproduce sexually. Many imperfect species do not produce spores, so scientists are still baffled by their asexual reproductive cycles as well. - FLVS
