	Homobasidiomycetes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As an example, the division between the gasteromycetes (puffballs) and homobasidiomycetes (most other mushrooms) is no longer recognized as a natural one—various puffball species have apparently evolved independently from hymenomycete fungi.
		All members of the Class Homobasidiomycetes produce basidiocarps and these range in size from tiny cups a few millimeters across to giant polypores greater than a meter across and weighing up to 130 kg (286 lb).
		The group also includes what are arguably the largest and oldest individual organisms on earth: the mycelium of Armillaria gallica have been estimated to extend over 150,000 square metres (37 acres) with a mass of 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) and an age of 1,500 years (Smith et al., 1997).

	PROJECT SUMMARY Morphological and ecological diversification in the homobasidiomycetes
		The fruiting bodies of homobasidiomycetes include complex, developmentally integrated structures, such as mushrooms, as well as very simple forms, such as the resupinate, crustlike fruiting bodies of "corticioid" fungi.
		Homobasidiomycetes play a major role in carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems; they comprise the majority of wood-decay fungi and ectomycorrhizal fungi, and also include mycoparasites, insect symbionts, lichens, and litter decomposers.
		Nevertheless, patterns of morphological and ecological evolution in homobasidiomycetes have been difficult to resolve, owing to the lack of a broad phylogenetic hypothesis for the group.

		The cantharelloid clade has often been resolved as one of the earliest-diverging groups in the homobasidiomycetes, and is possibly the sister group of all other homobasidiomycetes.
		The gomphoid-phalloid clade is often resolved as one of the early-diverging groups within the homobasidiomycetes, along with the cantharelloid and hymenochaetoid clades.
		Almost all members of the hymenochaetoid clade that have been investigated have imperforate parenthesomes (the exception is Hyphoderma praetermissum), which is consistent with its frequent position as one of the early-diverging clades of homobasidiomycetes, along with the cantharelloid and gomphoid-phalloid clades.

		Here you will find more informations about Homobasidiomycetes.
		The Class Homobasidiomycetes is a taxonomic division in the Subdivision Hymenomycotina of the Division Basidiomycota (in the Kingdom Fungi).
		Although morphology of the mushroom or fruiting body was the basis of early classification of the Homobasidiomycetes (Fries, 1874), this is no longer the case.

		Homobasidiomycetes include approximately 13,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi and related taxa.
		The goals of the present study were to evaluate a recent phylogenetic classification by Hibbett and Thorn that divided the homobasidiomycetes into eight major unranked clades, and to infer the higher-order relationships among these clades.
		Nevertheless, the backbone of the homobasidiomycete phylogeny, and the internal structure of several clades, remain poorly resolved.

		Two basic forms of wood decay are known in homobasidiomycetes: white rot, in which lignin and cellulose are degraded, and brown rot, in which lignin is not appreciably degraded.
		We performed a phylogenetic analysis of 130 species of homobasidiomycetes using nuclear and mitochondrial rDNA sequences, and performed ancestral state reconstructions using parsimony on a range of trees, with various loss:gain cost ratios.
		White rot, tetrapolar mating systems, and the ability to decay conifers and hardwoods appear to be plesiomorphic in homobasidiomycetes, whereas brown rot, bipolar mating systems, and exclusive decay of conifers appear to have evolved repeatedly.

	MykoWeb -- Fungal Taxonomy II
		Within the Basidiomycota, it has also long been hypothesized that the rusts and smuts form the more basal clades, and that the homobasidiomycetes (fleshy basidiomycetes) and the jelly fungi form a clade that is probably closest to the smuts.
		However, when we examine the subject of the evolution of the homobasidiomycetes, we see an area where many of our old ideas are being subject to radical revision.
		Woody fungi, such as polypores, turn up in five of the eight major evolutionary lines of homobasidiomycetes; this type of morphology may have evolved many times independently, or it may be an ancestral state in several of the evolutionary lines of fleshy fungi.

		However, many of the relationships and twists of evolution that were unveiled in those studies were little short of stunning, and if there's anything that can be learned from them, it is that we are far from finished.
		From a strictly computational point of view, we know that the basal is vital to the understanding of the complex, and the professional reader has probably been relentlessly versed in the importance of good outgroups and basal taxa to phylogenetic inference.
		Fortunately and in spite of the highly divergent DNA of some of the species, preliminary tests have suggested that DNA sequence analysis indeed should be very useful when attacking the problematic regions of the clade.

		Isozymic polymorphism in natural populations of Suillus collinitus and some taxonomically related and unrelated ectomycorrhizal Homobasidiomycetes.
		Isozyme variation and somatic incompatibility were investigated in order to study genetic polymorphism in natural populations of the ectomycorrhizal fungus S.
		The current study showed that the electrophoretic analysis of isozyme fingerprints could be a helpful method in order to clarify taxonomical and nomenclatural problems and to study the population genetics and the ecology of ectomycorrhizal Homobasidiomycetes in forest ecosystem.
