Members of Basidiomycotina (the club fungi or mushrooms) can be edible. As well, many of them form mutualistic symbioses with plants, without which the plants would die of starvation of dehydration. Thus, the club fungi provide a direct food source and an indirect food source to humans. As well, they indirectly help many areas of industry (i.e. the lumber industry) through these mutualisms.
