Identify the group of fungi that is not correctly matched with all the characters given below:

(1)	Phycomycetes:	Mycelium – aseptate and coenocytic / Asexual reproduction by motile zoospores or by nonmotile aplanospores / spores – endogenously produced in the sporangium
(2)	Ascomycetes:	Mycelium – unbranched and septate / Asexual spores are conidia / Conidia produced endogenously on conidiophores.
(3)	Basidiomycetes:	Mycelium–branched and septate / Asexual spores are generally not found.
(4)	Deuteromycetes:	Only the asexual or vegetative phase of these fungi are known.
