What does the suffix -mycota mean?

The suffix "-mycota" indicates that a word refers to a division or phylum of fungi.

For example:

* Ascomycota - a division of fungi that produce spores in a sac-like structure called an ascus.

* Basidiomycota - a division of fungi that produce spores on a club-shaped structure called a basidium.

* Zygomycota - a division of fungi that reproduce sexually by forming a zygospore.

So, whenever you see "-mycota" in a word, it means that the word refers to a group of fungi.
