Based on conidial development, three fundamental spore types are proposed: arthroconidia, proconidia, and euconidia. This leads to a new classification of the Hyphomycetes into three subgroups: Arthrohyphomycetes, Blastohyphomycetes, and Euhyphomycetes, each further divided into sections. The paper discusses the inadequacy of the Saccardo system and supports modern classification approaches based on conidiogenesis, drawing from various authors and previous studies.
