Q.Describe the salient features of class Basidiomycetes and class Deuteromycetes under Kingdom Fungi, giving one example of each.

[!TLDR]

Basidiomycetes have septate hyphae and form basidiospores on a basidium, lacking asexual spores (e.g. Agaricus); Deuteromycetes ('Fungi Imperfecti') reproduce only by conidia (e.g. Alternaria). …

Basidiomycetes include mushrooms, bracket fungi, puffballs, and important plant parasites such as rusts and smuts. They grow in soil, on logs, and as obligate parasites on living plants. Their mycelium is branched and septate; vegetative reproduction occurs mainly through fragmentation, and this class characteristically lacks asexual spores. Sexual reproduction produces club-shaped structures called basidia, on which basidiospores are formed exogenously (typically four per basidium). A common example is Agaricus, the edible mushroom. …
