    Phylum: Basidiomycota General Characteristics

    Uploaded by

    Rui Monteiro
    The document discusses the phylum Basidiomycota. Some key points: 1. Basidiomycota is a large phylum of fungi that reproduce sexually through the formation of basidia, club-shaped cells that bear basidiospores. 2. Basidiospores are the reproductive spores of Basidiomycota, formed through plasmogamy, karyogamy and meiosis within the basidium. There are typically four basidiospores formed on each basidium. 3. Basidiomycota are found worldwide and play important roles in decomposition and causing plant diseases. Some are edible mushrooms while others are toxic.

    Phylum : Basidiomycota
    General characteristics :
    1- Is one of two large Phylum that, together with the Ascomycota .
    2- filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for basidiomycota-
    yeast) .
    3- reproduce sexually By the formation of specialized club-shaped end
    cells called basidia that normally bear external spores (usually four).
    4- Specialized spores in this phylum called basidiospores .
    5- The basidiospores on the basidium is naked in nature or inside a
    vegetable composition called basidiocarp.
    6- The Threaded fungal(hyphae ) in Basidiomycotaforming a Clamp
    connection between adjacent cells, which are characteristic of this
    Phylum .
    7- 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.

    Basidiospores :
    Is the unit of sexual reproduction in Basidiomycotawhich is formed
    after passing through the stages of sexual reproduction Plasmogamy
    and Karyogamy and then the Meiosis٬ the last two stages occur in the
    basidium and eventually consists of four basidiosporeson each
    basidium .figure (1)
    figure (1)Phases of formation the basidiospores

    Asexual reproduction:
    Asexual reproduction of Basidiomycota fungi by budding or
    Fragmentationthe mycelium or by the formation of conidides or by
    Urediospores.
    Presence :
    Basidiomycota are found on land and in different parts of the world.
    Most of them live on a variety of organic materials, which have the
    ability to decompose organic matter and rot wood.

    Economic importance:
    1- Live parasitic on plants caused by plant diseases such as rust rust
    diseases and smut diseases .
    2- some species are used as food for humans around the world, such
    as fungus Mushroom .
    3- some species are toxic and deadly to humans called Toadstool,
    such as Amanita sp. Which is called the Death Angel.
    Basidiocarp :
    sexual vegetable structures contain sexual spores consisting of False
    fungus tissue and vary depending on the fungi such as:
    ❖ Jelly fungi
    ❖ Birds nest
    ❖ Bracket fungi
    ❖ Toadstool
    ❖ Mushroom
    Basidiocarp is different in size from a small microscope that is not
    seen by the naked eye to several feet in diameter and several kilograms in
    weight. For example, the size of Polypores is 147 cm in diameter, and the
    mushroom weight sometimes reaches 5 pounds. Basidocarp is also
    different in composition, whether it is skinning, gelatin, wood, sponge or
    paper .
    Aperfect Basidiocarp of mushroom consisting of the following
    structures :

    a- Cap or Pileus b- Gills c- Ring or Annulusd- Stapeor Stem

    Basidium :
    A reproductive structure in Basidiomycotafungi carried four Strigma
    (perfect number) each Strigmacarry one Basidospores .

    Types of Basidium :
    1- Holobasidium : consists of one cell different sizes undivided
    2- Phragmobasidium : divided by septa Longitudinal or transverse
    3- Teiliobasidium : Represent Teliosporefigure (3)
