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 .

What are the importance of ascomycetes?
In terms of ecological processes, ascomycetes are important as decomposers of organic material, symbiotes with trees, and a major source of nitrogen in certain ecosystems (as lichens). In industry, ascomycetes, the various yeasts, are what make bread rise and alcoholic beverages alcoholic. As well, several antibiotics are produced from ascomycetes. Many chemicals are massed produced by culturing the ascomycetes that product them naturally. There are some negative reasons why ascomycetes are important. Some, like Claviceps purpurea, are nasty plant pathogens that cost farmers money and raise food prices. Some, such as Candida albicans, are human pathogens.
