Q. Which pair of the following belongs to Basidiomycetes?
A) puffballs and Claviceps
B) Peziza and stinkhorns
C) Morchella and mushrooms
D) bird's nest fungi and puffballs
Explanation
[Solution from source] Puffballs and bird's nest fungi both produce basidiospores on basidia inside a basidiocarp, so both are Basidiomycetes. Claviceps, Peziza and Morchella are sac fungi (Ascomycetes), so every other pair mixes in an ascomycete. Answer (4).
