Ascomycetes are fungal organisms that produce spores to reproduce sexually.
They produce spores inside special elongated sacs known as asci or ascus.
The spores are formed in the sporophyte stage of the life cycle.

Ascomycetes get their name from the sac-like structure called an ascus, where sexual spores or ascospores develop.
Ascomycetes also reproduce asexually via budding.
