Oomycota

The Oomycota have long been considered Fungi because of their colourless mycelium. However, the mycelium of Oommycota is almost invariably aseptate (a septum occurs only at the basis of a conidium) and the wall is not composed of chitin but of cellulose. In the vegetative stage Omycota nuclei are diploid, while the nuclei of fungi at that time are haploid.
