Fungi Imperfecti \Fun"gi Im`per*fec"ti\, pl. [L. imperfecti
   imperfect.] (Bot.)
   A heterogenous phylum of fungi which lack a sexual phase, or
   of which the sexual phase is not known. Some undoubtedly
   represent the conidium stages of various Ascomycetes. It is
   not considered a natural phylum, and is also called the
   Deuteromycota. The group is divided into the orders
   Sph[ae]ropsidales, Melanconiales, and Moniliales. It
   includes the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, which
   reproduce asexually by means of conidia.
