Division Basidiomycota includes both edible and poisonous mushrooms, puffballs, rusts, smuts, and more, for a total of 25,000 species, about a third of known fungi species. Many play a vital role in the decomposition of litter, wood, and dung. Some, like chantarelle mushrooms, are quite good to eat and are highly prized for their flavor. However, other species like the smuts, attack crops and can cause economic devastation.

Members of this group are characterized by the production of aseptate basidia. The basidia are produced in well defined layers and give rise to basidiospores which are discharged when exposed to air.

This class contains the fungi considered to be mushrooms, shelf fungi, puffballs, stinkhorns, bird's nest fungi, jelly fungi, and the plant pathogens the rusts and the smuts. Most are saprophytes, but some associate symbiotically with plants while others are pathogenic. The hyphae are narrower than the Zygomycota and typically septate (dolipore septum).
