Question

Which of the following pair belongs to basidiomycetes?

• A. Puffballs and Claviceps
• B. Morchella and mushrooms
• C. Peziza and stink horns
• D. Bird's nest fungi and puffballs

Answer 1

The correct option is D Bird's nest fungi and puffballs

Bird's nest fungi and puffballs belong to basidiomycetes. Basidiomycetes are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae and reproducing sexually via the formation of specialised club-shaped end cells called basidia, that normally bear external meiospores (usually four). These specialised spores are called basidiospores.

So, the correct answer is option D.
