Basidiomycota (antagonists)

The Basidiomycota are characterized by their basidia, club-shaped structures (often only one cell) on which 2 to 4 haploid basidiospores are formed. These spores initiate the sexual reproduction cycle.

The following groups of antagonistic Basidiomycota are included in the system:

• Agaricomycetes (3 species)
• Microbotryomycetes (4 species)
• Tremellomycetes (1 species)
• Ustilaginomycetes (1 species)

This page deals only with antagonistic species to plant diseases and nematodes, for other groups see:

• Basidiomycota (plant pathogens)
• Basidiomycota (beneficial pathogens of weeds)

The following list contains all orders or equivalent groups of antagonistic Basidiomycota entered into the system:

• Cantharellales (1 species)
• Filobasidiales (1 species)
• Polyporales (1 species)

• Sporidiobolales (4 species)
• Sebacinales (1 species)
