Ascomycetes	Basidiomycetes
Ascomycetes are also known as cup fungi. They are the group of fungi that are characterized by the production of sexual spores. Example: Mushroom.	Basidiomycetes are known as club-fungi. This is because the spores known as basidiospores are produced in clu-like structures called basidia

The Basidiomycetes or the Ascomycetes are 2 main groups of fungi .
In the Basidiomycetes, the spores are produced externally, on the end of specialised cells called basidia.
In Ascomycetes, spores are produced internally, inside a sac called an ascus.
Asci and basidia are both microscopic structures.

Spores are produced by meiosis .

Basidiomycetes			Ascomycetes
Fungi with spores produced externally, on specialised cells called basidia. Typically, there are 4 spores per basidium .				Fungi with spores produced inside a sac called an ascus. Each ascus usually contains 8 spores produced by meiosis followed by mitosis .

Fungi with sporophores (fruiting bodies) large enough to be readily visible will usually belong to one of two main groups. The Basidiomycetesor the Ascomycetes. The main difference between these two groups is in the way in which they produce their microscopic spores.

Basidiomycetes

Ascomycetes

Typically, there are 4 spores per basidium, although this varies from 1 to many, depending on the species.

Each ascus usually contains 8 spores (sometimes 4, depending on the species).
