Abstract
Homobasidiomycetes include the mushroomforming fungi and related taxa. Over 13000 species of homobasidiomycetes have been described, which is equal to approximately 23% of all known species of eumycota (Hawksworth et al. 1995). Homobasidiomycetes occur in all terrestrial ecosystems, including deserts, and there are also a few aquatic species, in both marine and freshwater habitats (Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer 1979; Desjardin et al. 1995). The oldest unambiguous homobasidiomycete fossils are from the mid-Cretaceous, but indirect evidence, including molecular clock dating, suggests that the group may have been in existence by the late Triassic (ca. 200 ma; Berbee and Taylor 1993; Hibbett et al. 1997a). In contemporary ecosystems, homobasidiomycetes function as saprotrophs, plant pathogens, and partners in diverse symbioses, including ectomycorrhizae. Thus, homobasidiomycetes play a significant role in the carbon cycle, and they have a profound economic impact on agricultural industries, especially forestry. Finally, homobasidiomycetes are culturally significant, having served as food, drugs, and spiritual symbols in diverse human societies.
