A basidiocarp, basidiome or basidioma, is the sporocarp of a basidiomycete, the multi-cellular structure on which the spore-producing hymenium is borne. Basidiocarps are characteristic of the hymenomycetes; rusts and smuts do not produce such structures. As with other sporocarps, epigeous (above-ground) basidiocarps that are visible to the naked eye (especially those with a more or less agaricoid morphology) are commonly referred to as mushrooms, while hypogeous (underground) basidiocarps are usually called false truffles.

What type of hyphal cells form the basidiocarp?
Dikaryotic hyphae
What is the fruiting body of agaricus called?
Short Answer:The fruiting body or fruit body in fungi is called the sporocarp.Details:When most people see a sporocarp they call this a mushroom, but this fleshy fruiting body is only the visible part of the living organism that is popular for eating. The fruiting body only develops as part of the asexual phase of the fungal life cycle for spore production. To get more specific about the body parts of a mushroom, the fruiting body of the most common mushrooms have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae).Indeed, since we are getting technical about it, there are two kinds of sporocarp that most people recognize.The typical toadstool mushroom is a basidiomycete and the sporocarp is a basidiocarp or basidiome.Both the popular morel mushroom and the truffle are of the type known as an ascomycete and the fruiting body is an ascocarp.
What are the parts of the mushroom life cycle?
The mushroom life cycle is similar to that of the filamentous Ascomycota in that following monokaryons formation, there is a prolonged dikaryon stage prior to to karyogamy. However, a significant difference is that sexual organs are absent. It is thought that sexual organs of Basidiomycetes were lost during their evolution and that vegetative hyphae have taken over the function of sexual organs. Dikaryon formation begins with the fusion of hyphal cells between compatible monokayons (Fig. 3). The monokaryon stage of the Basidiomycotina is short-lived and fusion with a compatible monokaryon occurs soon after basidiospore germination. The dikaryon is the mycelium that produces the basidiocarp, and as in the Ascomycota, only certain dikaryotic cells will function in basidia and basidiospore formation, e.g. dikaryotic cells in the hymenium (Fig. 4).Figure 3: Dikaryon formation resulting from fusion of a pair of compatible monokaryons. Clamp connects may or may not be present.Figure 4: Formation of basidiocarp. Hymenial cells (right), in lamella will undergo karyogamy and develop basidia and basidiosporesThe terminal cells develop into basida and is where karyogamy will take place to form the zygotes. The zygote is the only diploid stage in the life cycle. The zygote immediately undergoes meiosis to form four haploid nuclei, and the future basidiospores are formed as blown out structures, on the tips of sterigmata, of the basidium. The nuclei migrates into the blown out areas which may then be properly referred to as basidiospores (Fig. 5).Figure 5: The zygote 5a is the only diploid stage. Four nucleate stage after meiosis 5b. Formation of basidiospores, but nuclei have not migrated into spores 5c. Nuclear migration into basidiospores 5d.Unlike other life cycles that we have covered, with only some variations, the sequence of events in the mushroom life cycle is truly representative of the class Basidiomycetes.
How does fungi diseases reproduce?
This is a very broad topic, and I will try to give a general overview. There are two main types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Many fungi reproduce both ways, and fungal taxonomy is based in part on reproduction. Since there are fungal pathogens in all the major groups, I'll just cover them taxonomically. Basidiomycotina (subphylum of Dikaryomycota)--Sexual reproduction takes place when two compatible hyphae meet. Plasmogamy (fusion of the cells) occurs but karyogamy (fusion of the nuclei) does not, resulting in a new individual with cells containing two haploid nuclei. When conditions are right, a basidiocarp is formed. The most well known basidiocarps are the mushrooms, but there are others. In a special layer of cells called the hymenium, karyogamy finally occurs. This is followed by meiosis, which gives rise to haploid spores. These spores are then allowed to disperse by wind, animals, water, etc. Ascomycotina--Sexual reproduction occurs in a similar manner. The main differences are the way to spores are produced and dispersed. Many individuals of Ascomycotina do not both with sexual reproduction and rely exclusively on asexual reproduction. When conditions are right, the mycelium will give rise to sporangiophores. These are specialized hyphae that will generate and help disperse the conidia, or asexual spores. Conidia are produced rapidly and in high numbers. Many are dispersed by the wind, which allows them to get everywhere. Glomeromycota/Zygomycota--These are mainly opportunistic pathogens. They reproduce asexually in a similar manner to Ascomycotina. When conditions are right for sex, two hyphae will undergo plasmogamy and karyogamy. This gives rise to a resistant structure containing a zygospore. It will germinate and give rise to a sporangiophore and spores that can be dispersed by the wind. Chytridiomycota/Blastocladiomycota/Neocallimastigomycota--These groups mainly reproduce asexually. Their sporangia release flagellated zoospores, which swim to a new substrate. There is some sexual reproduction, but the diversity of ways they do it is too much to be briefly covered.

What is a basidiome?
A basidium is a microscopic, club-shaped spore-bearing structure that is produced by basidiomycetes. The basidium is unique to the basidiomycetes and distinguishes them from other kinds of fungi.
