Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basidiomycetes are known for producing large fruiting bodies, such as mushrooms, that are typically covered by a cap (or pileus) and a stalk (or stipe). This distinguishes them from other phyla of fungi, such as ascomycetes, which produce fruiting bodies that are often disc-shaped (e.g. apothecia) or cup-shaped (e.g. perithecia).
