This is a subdivision under the Basidiomycetes group. In this classification the spores are produced in a thin layer called the ‘Hymenium’ which is on the surface of the mushroom flesh. This hymenium is formed by the Basidia we spoke about earlier. When the spores are mature they are forced out for propagation of the species and actually leave residue behind called a spore print.

This subcategory is further broken down into many different types of mushrooms; the first being: Agaricales
