The Ichthyosporea (or DRIP clade, or Mesomycetozoea) are a small group of Opisthokonta in Eukaryota (formerly protists), mostly parasites of fish and other animals.
Opisthokonts are a superkingdom of the Eukaryota, including the animals and fungi. It is a group of unikonts. There are several classifications of the eukaryotes which are being discussed. Each of them divides the domain Eukaryota into five groups, but there is disagreement on the details. [4]

A bikont ("two flagella") is any of the eukaryotic organisms classified in the group Bikonta. Many single-celled and multi-celled organisms are members of the group, and these, as well as the presumed ancestor, have two flagella. [1]
The final major grouping of eukaryotes is the recently discriminated taxon Obazoa ( Brown et al., 2013), almost all of which fall into a slightly less inclusive but better-known group called Opisthokonta.
