Taxonomic remark Ruggiero et al., 2015 treat Oomycetes as a class of Oomycota containing Peronosporidae and Saprolegniidae (and Eogamia) as subclasses. More recent fungal practice is to treat the first 2 of these as classes (Peronosporomycetes and Saprolegniomycetes), thus Oomycetes becomes redundant at class level, being functionally equivalent to phylum Oomycota. "Class Oomycetes" does appear in Hyde et al., 2024 as a parent for one order (Ducellieriales) but this appears to be an oversight/inconsistency in that work. [details]
