Zygomycophyta

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Zygomycophyta is not the name of a fungal group in Index Fungorum or MycoBank. The term produces no hits in JSTOR, Google Scholar, nor Pubmed. There are a few hits in Google Books, mostly from USMLE study Guides. I suspect whoever wrote these guides misspelled the name Zygomycota, as the taxa discussed in this article are all members of that fungal phylum. I have no opinion whether some of the material in the article could be selectively merged to other articles, but there should not be an article with this title.

 * Merge to zygomycosis, which is the broad name for the infection that these taxa (among others) cause. There certainly is no valid taxonomic grouping "zygomycophyta" (for one thing, it's paraphyletic), and the term appears to be only in use in the study guides mentioned above. But the material covered under "Diagnosis" and "Treatment" would be a good addition to the target page. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
