Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Zoopagomycotina are a subdivision (incertae sedis) of the fungal division Zygomycota sensu lato.  It contains 5 families and 20 genera. Relationships among and within subphyla of Zygomycota are poorly understood and their monophyly remains in question so they are sometimes referred to by the informal name, “zygomycetes”.
Zoopagomycotina are microscopic and they are typically obligate parasites of other zygomycete fungi and of microscopic soil animals such as nematodes, rotifers, and amoebae.
Some species are endoparasites that live mostly within the bodies of their hosts and only exit the host when they are producing spores.  Other species are ectoparasites (e.g. Syncephalis, Piptocephalis) that live outside of the host body, but produce specialized organs called haustoria that penetrate inside of the host body to capture host nutrients. Similar haustoria are found in biotrophic plant, animal, and fungal pathogens in several other major fungal lineages.
Like most other zygomycete fungi, the Zoopagomycotina have cell walls containing chitin and they have coenocytic (nonseptate) hyphae.  Their vegetative body consists of a simple, branched, or unbranched thallus.  Asexual reproduction is by arthrospores (in Helicocephalum), chlamydospores, uni- or multi-spored sporganiola; sporangiospores of multi-spored formed in simple or branched chains (merosporangia), usually from a vesicle or stalk. Many produce haustoria. Where observed, the sexual spores (zygospores) are globose and unornamented. The hyphae used during sexual outcrossing is similar to vegetative hyphae or in some cases may be slightly enlarged.
