Abstract Fungi are one of the most diverse groups organisms with an estimated number species in range 2–3 million. The higher-level ranking fungi has been discussed framework molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and definition higher ranks (e.g., phyla) ‘true fungi’ have revised several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation novel genomic data advancements now facilitate a robust precise foundation for classification within kingdom. This study provides updated kingdom , drawing upon comprehensive phylogenomic analysis Holomycota which we outline well-supported nodes fungal tree explore more contentious groupings. We accept 19 phyla Fungi, viz . Aphelidiomycota Ascomycota Basidiobolomycota Basidiomycota Blastocladiomycota Calcarisporiellomycota Chytridiomycota Entomophthoromycota Entorrhizomycota Glomeromycota Kickxellomycota Monoblepharomycota Mortierellomycota Mucoromycota Neocallimastigomycota Olpidiomycota Rozellomycota Sanchytriomycota, Zoopagomycota In phylogenies, Caulochytriomycota resides ; thus, former is regarded as synonym latter, while Caulochytriomycetes viewed class provide description each phylum followed by its classes. A new subphylum, Sanchytriomycotina Karpov introduced only subphylum Sanchytriomycota subclass Pneumocystomycetidae Kirk al. Pneumocystomycetes invalid thus validated. Placements fossil classes also discussed, providing examples.
