**6. Conclusion**

Basidiomycete is an important group of fungi that includes fungi forming ectomycorrhizae with trees, edible and medicinally important mushrooms, saprotrophs of wood and leaf litter, etc. and pathogens causing tree decline, wilting, and rots. Most of these have been identified and dividedby morphological basis till eighteenth century by Friesian system, that is, all gilled fungi were included in Agaricales, all nongilled fungi in Aphyllophorales, and all macrofungi with internal spore production in Gasteromycetes. Molecular methods using DNA extraction, amplification of a specific target region, and sequencing have confirmed to be more steadfast methods of identification. Molecular and phylogenetic characters have resolved many controversies. Although classical methods are useful for enlisting species of a particular area, these methods for fungal identification alone cannot work better due to phenotypic variations. Combining classical approach with molecular and phylogenetic techniques is an appropriate way for identification, taxonomic, and purposes.-
