ascomycota
Mushrooms are classified in the phylum Basidiomycota, which is a diverse group of fungi known for producing mushrooms with a club-shaped structure called a basidium.
Mushrooms belong to the class Agaricomycetes within the fungus kingdom.
Mushrooms belong to the kingdom known as "Fungi". Fungi have characteristic traits such as reproducing via spores. They are also known to prefer to grow in humid climates.
Mushrooms and toadstools are examples of fungi. Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera. In biological terms, fungi form a kingdom. Plants have a separate kingdom. Animals have a separate kingdom.
Mushrooms belong in the Division Dikarya (Or also called Basidiomycota) in the Kingdom of Fungi. This is divided down to the phylum Ascomycetes, home to cup fungi, beech orange, dead man's fingers and more, and the phylum Basidiomycetes which holds all the true mushrooms, as well as stinkhorns, truffles & more.
Mushrooms were originally classifed in the phylum Basidiomycota, and the sac fungi were originally placed in the phylum Ascomycota. Recently, these two phyla have been merged to form the Dikaryomycota.
Mushrooms are various species of fungi with fruiting bodies large enough to be seen clearly by the naked eye. Most fungi termed "mushrooms" belong to the Class Agaricomycetes.Agaricomycetes is further divided into seventeen orders, Agaricales, Atheliales, and Boletales in the Subclass Agaricomycetidae: Geastrales, Gomphales, Hysterangiales, and Phallales in the Subclass Phallomycetidae. The relationship of the orders Auriculariales, Cantharellales, Corticiales, Gloeophyllales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales, Russulales, Sebacinales, Thelephorales, and Trechisporales are still being sorted out.
It is often referred to as "club fungi", all members of this Phylum form spores on club-shaped cells known as basidia. Mushrooms are the most common examples of the members in this phylum. :)
A mushroom is it's own fungus for that it does not produce fungus it is fungus.
Phylum Basidiomycota is a group of fungi that produce spores on club-shaped basidia. They include familiar mushrooms, puffballs, and bracket fungi. Basidiomycota are important decomposers in ecosystems and form mutualistic relationships with plants such as mycorrhizae.
Mollusks, which are members of the phylum Mollusca, have a diverse range of feeding habits. Depending on the species, mollusks can be herbivores, carnivores, filter feeders, or detritivores. They consume a variety of food sources such as algae, plankton, other invertebrates, and organic debris.
The key difference between mushrooms and fungus is that the mushrooms are fruiting bodies of certain fungi belonging to the order Agaricales of phylum Basidiomycota while the fungus is any member of eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeast, moulds, mildews, mushrooms, etc., that belong to kingdom Fungi.. Kingdom Fungi is one of the five kingdoms of living organisms.
