Question

Mushrooms which we eat belong to which class?
(a) Basidiocarp
(b) Primary mycelium
(c) Basidiospores
(d) Fungal hyphae

Answer 1

Hint: The fleshy and nutritious fruit bodies of some types of macrofungi are edible mushrooms. They can either appear below ground or above ground, where they can be hand-picked. Criteria that include the lack of poisonous effects on humans and the desired taste and aroma can define edibility.

Complete answer:
The basidiocarp is the edible component of the mushroom. The basidiocarp is the basidiomycete sporocarp. The fungus is an epigeous basidiocarp that is found above the ground. In fungi, the basidiocarp, basidioma, is a basidiomycete sporocarp, the multicellular structure on which the hymenium producing spore is centered. Basidiocarps are typical of hymenomycetes; such structures do not contain rust and smut. As with other sporocarps, mushrooms are usually referred to as epigeous (above-ground) basidiocarps that are visible to the naked eye, whereas hypogeous basidiocarps are generally referred to as false truffles.
As the structure on which the hymenium is formed, all basidiocarps serve. On the surface of the hymenium, basidia are located, and the basidia eventually produce spores. A basidiocarp consists of an undifferentiated fruiting structure in its simplest form with a hymenium on the surface; many simple jelly and club fungi characterize such a structure. Differentiation into a stipe, a pileus, and/or different forms of hymenophores is present in more complex basidiocarps.

Additional information:
Mycelium, made up of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae, is the vegetative portion of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony. Often the mass of hyphae is called Shiro, especially within the fungi of the fairy ring. Mycelium-composed fungal colonies are present in and on soil and many other substrates.
A basidiospore is a reproductive spore formed by a community of mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, and smuts created by Basidiomycete fungi. Usually, basidiospores each contain one haploid nucleus that is the result of meiosis, and specialized fungal cells called basidia grow them. Usually, on appendages from each basidium, four basidiospores form, of which 2 are of one strain and 2 of its opposite strain.

So, the correct answer is ‘Basidiocarp’.

Note:
Agaricomycotina's basic divisions were formerly based entirely on the mushroom's growth type. Since then, molecular phylogenetic research (as well as supporting evidence from micromorphology and chemotaxonomy) has shown that related types of growth forms of basidiomycetes are often examples of convergent evolution and do not always represent a close relationship between different fungal groups.
