The Alexopoulos classification system is considered a classic "morphological" system. It relies heavily on what the fungi "look like" and how they reproduce.
These organisms are characterized by a naked, amoeboid thallus that lacks a cell wall during its vegetative phase. (Cellular slime molds) alexopoulos classification of fungi

Alexopoulos formally recognized Deuteromycetes as an artificial class for convenience, explicitly stating that many are anamorphs of Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes.
Classes: Chytridiomycetes , Hyphochytridiomycetes , Plasmodiophoromycetes . (Biflagellate fungi) Class: Oomycetes (often called "water molds"). 3. Division: Amastigomycota (Non-motile Fungi)
