Question

Identify the feature associated with the fungal group in which asexual spores are generally not found and sexual reproduction involves exogenous meiospores. (A) Mycelium is branched and septate in which asci is arranged in fruiting bodies. (B) Karyogamy and meiosis takes place inside the basidium. (C) Some members are saprophytes, parasites but a large number of members are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling. (D) Gametes undergoing fusion are similar in morphology.

The basidiomycetes are the filamentous fungi that reproduces sexually by the formation of club-shaped end cells called as basidium that contains external meiospores. These spores are known as basidiospores.
