Basidiomycota
Also known as basidiomycetes fungi
The Basidiomycota () are 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. This division includes: agarics, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and Cryptococcus, the human pathogenic yeast.
AI overview
Basidiomycota are one of the two major groups of higher fungi, and they include the mushrooms and toadstools you might recognize, along with less familiar fungi like puffballs, bracket fungi, and certain disease-causing yeasts. This division matters because it encompasses both economically important organisms—such as edible mushrooms and decomposers that recycle nutrients—and medically significant ones like Cryptococcus, which can infect humans.

毒蠅傘 Amanita muscaria (傘菌目) 担子菌门（学名：Basidiomycota）是一类高等真菌，构成雙核亞界，包含2万多种，包括蘑菇、木耳等主要食用菌。更具体地说，担子菌门包括以下组：蘑菇，马勃，stinkhorns（鬼筆科），支架真菌（英语：Bracket fungus），和人体致病酵母隐球菌属等等。 担子菌门的真菌基本全为陆生品种，主要特征是由多细胞，有横隔膜的菌丝体组成，菌丝分为两种，初生菌丝体的细胞只有一个细胞核，次生菌丝体的细胞有两个核，两个核的次生菌丝体可以形成一种子实体，称为担子果（basidioma , basidiocarp），经过有性繁殖过程，在担子上生成4个有性担孢子（basidiospores）；沒有無性孢子。 担子菌门的真菌种类繁多，有可以食用的，有可以药用的，也有许多种类有毒，与人类的生活关系较大。担子负于担子果上，除锈菌和黑粉菌外担子果多大而显著。

The Basidiomycota () are 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. This division includes: agarics, 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.
