Gasteromycetes
• Basidiospores mature inside basidiocarp
• Basidiospores not forcibly discharged
(statismospores)
• Do not comprise a monophyletic (natural)
group; these forms have evolved at least four
different times
• Wide range of different types of basidiocarps,
both epigeous and hypogeous
Orders
•
•
•
•
•
Lycoperdales – puffballs
Tulostomatales – stalked puffballs
Sclerodermatales – earth balls
Phallales – stink horns
Nidulariales – bird’s nest fungi
Terminology
• Statismospores
– Basidiospores
that are formed
symmetrically on
sterigmata and
are not forcibly
discharged
• Gleba
More
Terminology
– Fertile portion, contains
basidia and
basidiospores
– May contain capillitium
(coarse, thick-walled
hyphae) intersperced

Terminology
• Peridioles
– Small structures
containing basidiospores
and basidia , may be
actively ejected by rain
splash, etc.
• Peridium
– Outer covering of
basidiocarp; may be
multilayered
Order Lycoperdales
• Includes common puffballs and earthstars
• World-wide distribution
• Most species are saprotrophs, some are
mycorrhizal
Lycoperdales Morphology
• Basidiocarps often have sterile subgleba that
gives them a stalked appearance
• Peridium consists of 2-4 layers
– Endo-, meso- and exoperidium
• Immature gleba is white and uniform
• Mature gleba is dark and powdery
– contains basidiospores and capillitium
• Basidiospores dark, globose, ornamented
Puffball Morphology
Puffball
Morphology
Common taxa
• Lycoperdon
– Common puffballs, exoperidium often warty and
wearing away to reveal smooth, papery
endoperidium
• Geastrum
– Earthstars
– Exoperidium + mesoperidium are tough and split
in stellate manner; endoperidium thin and papery

Geastrum (from C. Stiles)
Order Tulastomatales
• Stalked puffballs; stalk is often below ground
• Basidiospores dark, globose, warted at
maturity
• Saprotrophs
• Representatives:
– Calostoma – glutinous stalk; temperate and
tropical regions
– Tulastoma – dry stalk; arid regions

Tulastoma (from Miller and Miller, 1988)
Order Sclerodermatales
• Earth balls and false earth stars
• One-layered peridium in most taxa; peridium wears
away to expose gleba
• Immature gleba is dark
• Gleba organized into peridioles or locules
• Basidiospores reticulate to warted, thick-walled
• Ectomycorrhizal
– Pinaceae and Fagaceae in Northern Hemisphere
– Also with Myrtaceae in Southern Hemisphere
Common Taxa
• Astraeus
– False earth star; peridium two-layered and separates
• Pisolithus
– Large, unattractive, club-shaped basidiocarps with
persistent peridioles
• Scleroderma
– Earth balls; look like tough, above-ground truffle due to
thick peridium and irregular shape; basidia formed in
locules

Scleroderma citrina (from G. Barron)
Order Nidulariales
• Bird’s nest fungi and cannon ball fungus
• Basidiocarps oval, urn- or trumpet-shaped
• Formed in clusters on dead wood
(saprotrophs)
• One- to three-layered peridium
• Basidia produced in persistent, thick-walled
peridioles
– Forcibly discharged in Sphaerobolus
– Rain splashed in bird’s nest fungi
Common taxa
• Cyathus
– Urn-shaped, dark peridioles, funiculus
• Crucibulum
– Cup-shaped, dull white peridioles, funiculus
• Nidula
– Cup-shaped, pale brown peridioles, no funiculus
• Sphaerobolus
– Cannon-ball fungus; one peridiole, forcibly discharged by
evagination of endoperidium

Sphaerobolus (MykoWeb)
Order Phallales
• Stinkhorns
• Most species are saprotrophs
• Gleba dissolves into putrid mass
(methylmercaptan, hydrogen sulfide = stench!)
that attracts insects that disperse spores
• Immature basidiocarps form egg-stage
• Gleba formed on receptacle
• Basidiocarps expand rapidly at maturity

Dictyophora
Zhusun Mushroom/
Bamboo Fungus
“A special fungus found in bamboo
groves. White in color and lamp
shade-like in shape, the mushroom is
both delicious and nutritious.”

Gastroid and Secotioid Taxa
• Closely related to agarics and boletes
• Gastroid/secotioid taxa have evolved from
ballistosporic forms:
– Gastroid - Hypogeous basidiocarps
– Secotioid - Epigeous basidiocarps, but pileus may
fail to expand, gills may be deformed
Examples
• Russula
– Secotioid taxa: Elasmomyces, Macowanites
– Gastroid taxa: Martellia, Gymnomyces
• Suillus
– Gastroid taxon: Rhizopogon
