CBasidiomycetes — produce basidiospores exogenously on basidia within basidiocarps (mushrooms / puffballs / Agaricus / Ustilago / Puccinia)
DDeuteromycetes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Basidiomycetes — produce basidiospores exogenously on basidia within basidiocarps (mushrooms / puffballs / Agaricus / Ustilago / Puccinia)
Basidiomycetes include common mushrooms (Agaricus), puffballs, smuts (Ustilago) and rusts (Puccinia). Basidiospores form exogenously on basidia (after karyogamy + meiosis in the dikaryotic basidium). Asexual spores are generally absent.
