Basidiocarp, also called basidioma, in fungi, a large sporophore, or fruiting body, in which sexually produced spores are formed on the surface of club-shaped structures (basidia). Basidiocarps are found among the members of the phylum Basidiomycota (q.v.), with the exception of the rust and smut fungi.
What is the structure of basidiocarp?
In its simplest form, a basidiocarp consists of an undifferentiated fruiting structure with a hymenium on the surface; such a structure is characteristic of many simple jelly and club fungi. In more complex basidiocarps, there is differentiation into a stipe, a pileus, and/or various types of hymenophores.
What is the size of basidiocarp?
Basidiospore formation: Basidiocarps are 100–200 μm long, white to beige, and composed of rarely branched hyphae, 2.5–3 μm in diameter, and with clamp connections.
