The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Phycomycetes**: - Phycomycetes is considered a lower group of fungi. It includes organisms like Rhizopus, Mucor, and Albugo. 2. **Characteristics of Mycelium in Phycomycetes**: - The mycelium in Phycomycetes is characterized by the absence of septa (cross walls) between the cells. 3. **Terminology**: - Since the mycelium lacks septa, the hyphae are termed **aseptate**. - The hyphae are also described as **cynocytic** (or coenocytic), which means they are multinucleated. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct description of the mycelium in Phycomycetes is that it is **aseptate and coenocytic**. 5. **Final Answer**: - The mycelium in class Phycomycetes is **aseptate and coenocytic**.
