Chytrid fungi are important saprophytes and parasites in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. They have been collected from the arctic to the tropics. The thallus of a chytrid fungus, with a single round sporangium, grows between pollen grains, eventually penetrating the pollen with its branched tubular rhizoids.

Chytrid fungi is also known as Chytridiomycota. They are the most primitive fungi and are found in freshwater. They are mobile by flagella.
