Imperfect fungi" are "imperfect" not because they lack something but because science understands their life cycles "imperfectly." In technical texts this group is often referred to as the Deuteromycota or Deuteromyctes. The group contains a hodgepodge of fungi, the members of which will eventually be determined to be club, sac or conjunction fungi (or maybe something entirely new), and no longer be considered "imperfect."
If you think about it, it's kind of neat to run into a corner of science where scientists are even at this moment just throwing up their hands and saying "We don't know how these fungi reproduce!" It's even neater when you realize that many "imperfect fungi" are very common.
