    Sexual reproduction cycle of basidiomycetes Basidiomycota life cycle Cell cycle of a Dikaryotic basidiomycete Unlike animals and plants which have readily recognizable male and female counterparts, Basidiomycota (except for the Rust ( Pucciniales )) tend to have mutually indistinguishable, compatible haploids which are usually mycelia being ...

    Diagram showing a basidiomycete mushroom, gill structure, and spore-bearing basidia on the gill margins. A basidium (pl.: basidia) is a microscopic spore-producing structure found on the hymenophore of reproductive bodies of basidiomycete fungi.

  4. Clamp connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamp_connection

    Clamp connections are structures unique to the phylum Basidiomycota. Many fungi from this phylum produce spores in basidiocarps (fruiting bodies, or mushrooms), above ground. Though clamp connections are exclusive to this phylum, not all species of Basidiomycota possess these structures.

    A basidium-producing organ; the fruiting body of Basidiomycota. [44] Basidiomycota A Lactarius indigo, a milk-cap mushroom and basidiomycete. Basidiomycetes. A phylum of fungi. Generally defined by sexual reproduction via basidiospores formed from a basidium, although a few purely anamorphic basidiomycetes exist.

  7. Dikarya - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikarya

    The phylum Basidiomycota can be divided into three major lineages: mushrooms, rusts and smuts. Fusion of haploid nuclei ( karyogamy ) occurs in the basidia, club-shaped end cells. Shortly after formation of the diploid cell, meiosis occurs and the resulting four haploid nuclei migrate into four, usually external cells called basidiospores .

  8. Entomopathogenic fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomopathogenic_fungus

    Phylum Chytridiomycota is considered one of the earliest branching true-fungi in the fungal kingdom. They are also the only true-fungi to produce motile zoospores in their lifecycle. [1] Few genera of entomopathogenic fungi belong to the Phylum Chytridiomycota. [15] The genus Myrmicinosporidium include M. durum which is an endoparasite of ants ...

    This is a list of families in the phylum Basidiomycota of kingdom Fungi.The Basidiomycota are the second largest phyla of the fungi, containing 31515 species. [1] The phylum is divided into three subphyla, the Pucciniomycotina (rust fungi), the Ustilaginomycotina (smut fungi), the Agaricomycotina, and two classes of uncertain taxonomic status (incertae sedis), the Wallemiomycetes and the ...
