Morphology
This phrase is a straightforward taxonomic label combining the generic noun 'division' (a principal rank) with the taxon name 'Eumycota'; if a learner knows both constituents they can infer it denotes the division of true fungi called Eumycota. The rank+name composition is regular and cross-linguistically common in scientific nomenclature, so the meaning is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Division Eumycota comes from the parts eu, meaning 'true', and mycota, meaning 'fungi'. So the name literally labels the main group of 'true fungi', like mushrooms, molds and yeasts, and shows they are different from slime molds.
