Members of the division Chytridiomycota have unicellular to mycelial thalli. Their cell wall composition is mostly chitin, and cellulose is not known to occur. Because cell wall composition is thought to be a conservative characteristic, this division was classified by Bartnicki-Garcia (1970) with the true fungi.

The chytrids are mostly aquatic organisms. Most are saprophytes, but a number are plant pathogens. One, Batrachochytrium dendrobatitidis, has been implicated in epidemics that are affecting frogs worldwide.

Members of this class produce zoospores and planogametes with a single, posterior whiplash flagellum. The thallus is coenocytic and chitin is present in the cell wall. The zygote may convert into a resting spore, resting sporangium or coenocytic thallus.

Some individuals of this phyla are unicellular, however, the majority are filamentous with coenocytic mycelia. They are also characterized by absorptive nutrition and haplobiontic or diplobiontic life cycles. These organisms reproduce by planogamatic copulation (motile gametes), gametangial copulation, or by somatogamy involving fusion between rhizoids. The asexual spores are called zoospores, which have a posterior, whiplash flagellum.
