Phyla
Haptophyta
The haptophytes, classed either as the Prymnesiophyta or Haptophyta, are a of algae. [more]
Hyphochytriomycota
Labyrinthulomycota
Ochrophyta
Oomycota
Oomycota also known as Water molds (or water moulds: see ) are a group of filamentous, unicellular heterokonts, physically resembling fungi. They are microscopic, absorptive organisms that reproduce both sexually and asexually and are composed of mycelia, or a tube-like vegetative body (all of an organism's mycelia are called its thallus).
