- The majority of macroscopic fleshy fungi are basidiomycetes'. '''Basidiomycetes''' produce spores on a basidium, the basic feature that separates them from other groups of fungi. Some of the '''basidiomycetes''' forcibly discharge their spores from the basidia, which remain after spore discharge. Other ' basidiomycete groups release their spores by collapse of the basidia, which are not present in the mature fruiting body.

- Among basidiomycetes there are classic examples of farming interactions in which Old World termites cultivate a monophyletic group of fungi and New World leaf-cutting ants cultivate two distinct cultivar groups (Currie et al. 2003; Munkacsi et al. 2004; Little and Currie 2008).
