A basidiospore is a reproductive spore produced by basidiomycete fungi, a grouping that includes mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, and smuts. Basidiospores typically each contain one haploid nucleus that is the product of meiosis , and they are produced by specialized fungal cells called basidia .
Basidiobolomycosis is a fungal disease caused by Basidiobolus ranarum. [1] [5] It may appear as one or more painless firm nodules in the skin which becomes purplish with an edge that appears to be slowly growing outwards.

The sporocarp of a basidiomycete is known as a basidiocarp or basidiome , while the fruitbody of an ascomycete is known as an ascocarp .

Armillaria mellea, commonly known as honey fungus, is an edible basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected.
