Mushrooms, bracket fungi, and puffballs are all common macroscopic examples of which fungal class?
The NCERT textbook introduces Basidiomycetes by listing their most commonly known, visible, and sometimes edible macroscopic forms. These include mushrooms, bracket fungi (often seen growing on tree logs), and puffballs. They typically grow in soil, on fallen logs, tree stumps, and occasionally as harmful plant parasites (like rusts and smuts) that cause immense damage to agricultural cereal crops.
