Basidiomycota, commonly known as club fungi, primarily live as decomposers, breaking down organic matter in soil and dead plant material, which recycles nutrients back into the ecosystem. They can also form symbiotic relationships with plants through mycorrhizal associations, enhancing nutrient uptake for the plants while receiving carbohydrates in return. Some species are known to be pathogens, affecting plants, animals, or other fungi. Their life cycle includes a prominent fruiting body stage, which produces spores for reproduction.
