Answer 1

The Basidiomycetes are a group of fungi that include rusts, stinkhorns, puffballs, and mushrooms. Stolons are not included in the Basidiomycetes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Basidiomycetes are a group of fungi that have club-shaped structures called basidia which produce basidiospores within fruiting bodies called basidiocarps. They include rusts, stinkhorns, puffballs, and mushrooms. However, stolons are not included in the Basidiomycetes. Stolons are horizontal stems that grow above the ground and are characteristic of other groups of fungi.
