In the past the classes Hyphochytridiomycetes, Oomycetes and Chytridiomycetes were grouped together in the now obsolete taxon Mastigomycotina as fungi with flagellate spores or gametes. Now the Chytridiomycetes are still considered true fungi, but the other two sub-groups are classified in the kingdom Protista, or in the group Stramenopiles.

Over 8400 species of Pucciniomycotina have been described - more than 8% of all described fungi. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The subdivision is considered a sister group to Ustilaginomycotina and Agaricomycotina , which may share the basal lineage of Basidiomycota, although this is uncertain due to low support for placement between the three groups.
