Question

This is a microscopic image of cedar-apple rust. I am supposed to talk about it as a representative of the group that it belongs to. I have researched everything I can possibly think of online about this and haven't found anything.

What group does it belong to?

From my findings, the groups of fungi are Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Glomeromycota.

Does anyone have a website with factual information I can use on this cedar-apple rust and what group it belongs to & why?
