Lycoperdales
Puffballs belong to the taxonomic kingdom Fungi. Within this kingdom, they are classified in the division Basidiomycota, class Agaricomycetes, and order Agaricales. The genus Calvatia includes most puffball species.
Puffballs are a type of mushroom. They are in the fungus kingdom. Puffballs and other mushrooms grow from an underground organism. The part above ground is actually a reproductive structure designed to spread the spores.
Fungi belong to the Kingdom Fungi.
No, puffballs do not produce dandelions. Puffballs are a type of fungi that release spores for reproduction, while dandelions are flowering plants that reproduce through seeds produced in their characteristic yellow flowers. These two organisms belong to entirely different biological kingdoms—fungi and plants, respectively. Thus, they have distinct reproductive methods and do not influence each other's life cycles.
Puffballs
Club fungi belong to the class Basidiomycetes, which are characterized by their club-shaped reproductive structures called basidia. This class includes mushrooms, toadstools, and other fungi that produce spores on basidia.
Mushrooms belong to the class Agaricomycetes within the fungus kingdom.
Puffballs, mushrooms, molds and yeasts
The group of fungi that includes umbrella-shaped mushrooms and puffballs is called Basidiomycota. This group is characterized by the production of basidiospores on specialized structures called basidia, which are typically found on the underside of mushroom caps or within puffball fruiting bodies.
the way they release spores.
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.
People think of mushrooms as a type of plant. Mushrooms in fact belong to a separate group of organisms all together called fungi. Other types of fungi are toadstools, puffballs, truffles, yeast, bread mold and skin infections such as tinea.
