Taylor,... Edith L. Taylor, of Fossil Mushrooms, 2015 Basidiomycota is a monophyletic group with more than 31,000 living species known, approximately one-third of all fungi; however, molecular and genetic studies show that more diversity has yet to be discovered in this group. The group includes mushrooms, smut and rust. Basidiomycota are important contributors to the functioning of ecosystems at several levels and are the main degradors of various wood components, including lignin. The most diagnostic feature of the group is the club structure, the basidia, on which the meyospores (basidiospores) are produced. The group is probably ancient, but early fossil records are difficult to interpret due to lack of diagnostic functions; The oldest compound clip dates from the Mississippi (Lower Carboniferous). The vast majority of the fossil basidiomycota described to date originate from Cenozoic.Thomas J. Volk, in the Encyclopedia of Biodiversity, 2001 Basidiomycota carry their sexual spores externally on a usually club structure called basidiem, which is often carried on or in a fertile body called basidirp or basidiome. This filum includes well-known mushrooms, both edible and poisonous, as well as puffballs, ice mushrooms, jelly mushrooms and coral mushrooms (Figure 8). These species, which produce fruit and vegetable bodies, demonstrate different methods of increasing their surface area, as discussed in section IV,C.Figure 7. Basidius shows two of the four basidiospores produced by meiosis and pinching spores from the basidia. Figure 8. (A) Armillaria nabsnona, (B) Tremella reticulata, (C) Trames versicolor, (D) Pulcherricium caeruleum. See also the color of the plate 14, Volume 1.The Basidiomycota also contain perhaps the most important pathogens of plants, rust and smut. These fungi do not produce macroscopic fruiting of bodies, but instead carry their spores on the stems, leaves and flowers of host plants. However, remember that mycelium is internal and sucks nutrients out of the plant. The impact on the plant ranges from reduced yields to death. Rust, in particular, has a very complex it often takes two unrelated host species to complete their growth phases. Thomas Wolf, in the Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2013 Basidiomycota carry their sexual spores outwardly on a usually club-shaped structure called basidia, which often carries on or in a fruit-bearing body called basidiocarpa or basidioma (Figure 7). This phylum includes well-known mushrooms, both edible and poisonous, as well as meatballs, puffballs, ice mushrooms, jelly mushrooms and coral mushrooms (Figure 8). Many of the most valuable edible species, such as royal painkillers, matsutake and foxes, form a ectomy with host plants. (see Mycorrhizae) Species that produce fruit and vegetable bodies demonstrate different methods of increasing their surface area, as discussed in surface area and Reproduction.Figure 7. Basidius, showing four basidiosporas produced by meiosis and pinching spores from the basidium. Figure 8. a) Armillaria nabsnona, b) Tremella reticulata, (c) Trametes versicolor, d) Pulcherricium caeruleum. Basidiomycota also include perhaps the most important pathogens of crop production, rust and smut, which are responsible for billions of U.S. dollars each year in lost yields. These fungi do not produce macroscopic fruiting of bodies, but instead carry their spores on the stems, leaves and flowers of host plants. However, remember that mycelium is internal and sucks nutrients out of the plant using its exoenzyme. The impact on the plant ranges from reduced yields to death. Rust is also interesting because of their very complex life cycles, often requiring two unrelated host species to complete their growth phases. For example, a black wheat stem rust agent alternates between wheat and barbary, taking a year to complete your life cycle. Lynn Boddy, in Mushrooms (Third Edition), 2016Some Basidiomycota have one locus-type pairing (and therefore a unifying), but the general population has a large number of pairing-type alleles. Mating occurs between any haploid mycelium, different types of mating (i.e. have different alleles of the locus of the marriage type). Thus, the nucleus of the diploid base is heterozygous for mating type (e.g. A1A2). Thus, two haploid spores suffered on the basidia will be one type of mating (e.g. A1) and two others (e.g. A2). This is why this type of system is sometimes called bipolar. Since any diploid strain gives two types of mating, inbreeding potential, as in breeding systems with only two types of mating, is 50%. That is, if the miselia of a large number of basidiospores from the same fruit body in pairs in all combinations, 50% of the pairs will mate successfully. Since, however, a large number of mating types can occur in Almost all encounters with non-brothers strains can be compatible and outbreeding potential can approach 100% 100% 4.3), so there is a bias towards crossing. Thomas N. Taylor, ... Michael Krings, in Paleobotany (Second Edition), 2009 Basidiomycota, monophyletic sister group Ascomycota, includes ∼ 30,000 extant species divided into three main lines (subfil): rust (Puccinomycotina), smut (Ustilyagococotina), and mushrooms (Agaricomycotina). They are known from both terrestrial and aquatic habitats around the world and include important plant pathogens (e.g. wheat rust, corn smut), and edible mushrooms. The most diagnostic feature of basidimics is basidia (pl. basidia), usually a club cell where nuclear synthesis (carioyamia) occurs and the structure on which sexual spores (basidispores) are produced. Some basidia are carried on complex, multicellular fruit and vegetable bodies, such as mushrooms (FIG. 3.66). Other features of basidiomycete include hygrouts of hyphal, called clamp compounds, and the presence of a dicaprio phase in the life cycle, a condition in which each cell in the tallus contains two nuclei. Some basidiomycetes are involved in ectomies, while others are symbiotic associated with various insects, such as leaf-cutting ants and termites. One example of the interaction between fungus and termite is the Miocene-Pliocene termite trace of the fossil microfavicnus; this inogen is thought to represent fungus combs of fungus-growing termites (Duringer et al,2007). The crests consist of alveolar masses, in which the walls have a pellet structure. Figure 3.66. The life story of the basidiomyte fungus. (From Taylor and Taylor, 1993.) Basidiomycota today play an important role in the carbon cycle by decaying organic matter, including wood; Suspected basidiomycetic fungi were found in Mid Devon, shortly after terrestrial plants first began producing secondary growth. There are a number of carbon fossils that look like modern basidiometic fetal bodies, or basidiocarpas (Lindley and Hutton, 1831-1837; Leskere, 1877; Herzer, 1893; Hollick, 1910) (FIG. 3.67). However, almost all of these reports were subsequently interrogated and the samples reinterpreted as non-black (Pirozynski, 1976b). The fact that there are so few reports of basidiomycetes associated with fossil tree is puzzling, since today they are the main decomposers of cellulose and lignin, the main components of the walls of plant cells. Figure 3.67. Arthur Hollick.One well-documented basidiomycete from Pennsylvania is a Palaeoancistrus martini, a fungus found in the tracheids of the cearor zigopteris (Dennis, 1970). There are several features of this fungus that offer similarities to the living saprotrophic members of Basidiomycota. One is the presence of a smooth, narrow, septatous gif (4.8 microns in diameter) that follow a straight within the tracheid. tracheid. With gifs are both terminal and inter-calorie chlamydospores. Some gifs have incomplete clip ties in which the clamp hook does not form a complete connection to the gif, while in other clamp compounds are well developed. Another basidiomyte was described in the secondary xylem of several Paleozoic and Mesozoic forests from Gondwana (FIG. 3.68), but in this case it is the symptoms caused by the fungus, due to the fungus itself, which provides identification. The activity of this fungus leads to the formation of numerous longitudinal, spindle-shaped decay centers in secondary xylem (FIG. 3.69), called pocket rot (Stubblefield and Taylor, 1986). In other regions of secondary xylem, for example, in the root vertebral and stems classified as morphogen Araukarixolone, there is a gif with simple and medallion clamping compounds (FIG. 3.70). The elongated, spindle-shaped areas in the fossils are identical to those caused by modern white pocket rot mushrooms (Blanchette, 1980). Other structural features in fossil forests indicate a consistent delegification of the secondary cell wall (FIG. 3.71), such as the loss of the average lamella between wooden cells, and they are also characteristic of modern white rotten fungi. Paleafibulus is another fossil fungus with clamping compounds (FIG. 3.72) and thick-walled spores known from Antarctica's mid-Triassic permineralyted peat (Osborn et al., 1989). Studies of wood-rotting fossil fungi provide an opportunity to indirectly study the biochemical evolution of fungi, based on models and features associated with the deregification and removal of cellulose from the wall of the host cell.

    Mykologie am Lehrstuhl Spezielle Botanik und Mykologie der Universität Tübingen, 1974-2011 FRANZ OBERWINKLER Kurzfassung Wir beschreiben die mykologischen Forschungsaktivitäten am ehemaligen Lehrstuhl „Spezielle Botanik und Mykologie“ der Universität Tübingen von 1974 bis 2011 und ihrer internationalen Ausstrahlung. Leitschiene unseres gemeinsamen mykologischen Forschungskonzeptes war die Verknüpfung von Gelände- mit Laborarbeiten sowie von Forschung mit Lehre. Dieses Konzept spiegelte sich in einem weit gefächerten Lehrangebot, das insbesondere den Pflanzen als dem Hauptsubstrat der Pilze breiten Raum gab. Lichtmikroskopische Untersuchungen der zellulären Baupläne von Pilzen bildeten das Fundament für unsere Arbeiten: Identifikationen, Ontogeniestudien, Vergleiche von Mikromorphologien, Überprüfen von Kulturen, Präparateauswahl für Elektronenmikroskopie, etc. Bereits an diesen Beispielen wird die Methodenvernetzung erkennbar. In dem zu besprechenden Zeitraum wurden Ultrastrukturuntersuchungen und Nukleinsäuresequenzierungen als revolutionierende Methoden für den täglichen Laborbetrieb verfügbar. Flankiert wurden diese Neuerungen durch ständig verbesserte Datenaufbereitungen und Auswertungsprogramme für Computer. Zusammen mit den traditionellen Anwendungen der Lichtmikroskopie und der Kultivierung von Pilzen stand somit ein effizientes Methodenspektrum zur Verfügung, das für systematische, phylogenetische und ökologische Fragestellungen gleichermaßen eingesetzt werden konnte, insbesondere in der Antibiotikaforschung, beim Studium zellulärer

The phylogenetic position of the lichenicolous representatives of Chionosphaera has, however, never been investigated by molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses using the nuclear SSU, ITS, and LSU ribosomal DNA mar- kers reveal that the lichenicolous members of Chionosphaera form a monophyletic group in the Pucciniomycotina, distinct from Chionosphaera and outside the Chionosphaeraceae. The new genus Crittendenia is described to accommodate these lichen-inhabiting spe- cies. Crittendenia is characterized by minute synnemata-like basidiomata, the presence of clamp connections and aseptate tubular basidia from which 4–7 spores discharge passively, often in groups. Crittendenia, Cyphobasidium and Lichenozyma are the only lichenicolous lineages known so far in the Pucciniomycotina, whereas Chionosphaera does not include any lichenicolous taxa.

Crittendenia, Cyphobasidium and Lichenozyma are the only lichenicolous lineages known so far in the Pucciniomycotina, whereas Chionosphaera does not include any lichenicolous taxa.
