  1. Basidiomycota

    Basidiomycota () is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Members are known as basidiomycetes. More specifically, Basidiomycota includes these groups: mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and Cryptococcus, the human pathogenic yeast. Basidiomycota are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for basidiomycota-yeast) and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called basidia that normally bear external meiospores (usually four). These specialized spores are called basidiospores. However, some Basidiomycota are obligate asexual reproducers. Basidiomycota that reproduce asexually (discussed below) can typically be recognized as members of this division by gross similarity to others, by the formation of a distinctive anatomical feature (the clamp connection), cell wall components, and definitively by phylogenetic molecular analysis of DNA sequence data.

  1. basidiomycota

    Basidiomycota is a large phylum within the kingdom Fungi that includes around 30,000 species of mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, shelf fungi, rusts, smuts, and other fungi. Organisms in this group reproduce sexually through the formation of specialized cells called basidia, which typically bear external spores known as basidiospores. Basidiomycota are found in various habitats and can be decomposers, parasitic, or mutually symbiotic with plants.
