(‘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’)
(more specifically the ‘Basidiomycota’ include these groups: mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and the human pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus)
(‘Basidiomycota’ are filamentous fungi composed of ‘hyphae’ (except for ‘yeasts’), and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called ‘basidia’ that normally bear external ‘meiospores’ (usually 4))
(these specialized ‘spores’ are called ‘basidiospores’)
(however, some ‘Basidiomycota’ reproduce asexually in addition or exclusively)
(‘basidiomycota’ that reproduce asexually can 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)
