From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Phy·co·my·ce·tes n. pl.  Bot. A large, important class of parasitic or saprophytic fungi, the algal or algalike fungi.  The plant body ranges from an undifferentiated mass of protoplasm to a well-developed and much-branched mycelium.  Reproduction is mainly sexual, by the formation of conidia or sporangia; but the group shows every form of transition from this method through simple conjugation to perfect sexual reproduction by egg and sperm in the higher forms. -- Phy*co*my*ce*tous a.
