• LichenNarrower topic: Some lichen-forming fungi belong to this phylum, though fewer than in Ascomycota.

• AscomycotaCompared with: Basidia contrast with asci as the characteristic sexual spore-producing structures.

• Mushroom cultivationNarrower topic: Many commercially cultivated mushrooms belong to this broad group.

• Fungal taxonomyBroader topic: Its familiar mushrooms belong to one branch of this major lineage.

• BasidiosporeNarrower topic: Basidiospores are the defining sexual dispersal spores of this fungal group.

• BasidiumNarrower topic: Basidia are the defining reproductive cells of this fungal phylum.

• HymeniumNarrower topic: Many familiar mushroom hymenia belong to fungi in this phylum.

• ChytridiomycotaCompared with: Basidiomycetes generally lack the motile spores that characterize chytrids.
