4. Basiodiomycete


This is a picture of a mushroom. A mushroom is a basiodiomycete. A basiodiomycete is a fungus with sexually produced spores on a basidium, or a club shaped structure. Basidia and basidiospores are produced on the underside gills of the mushroom, or the lamella. These spores are what helps the mushroom to reproduce and spread itself around an area. Some basidiomycetes reproduce sexually while others reproduce asexually.
