Basidiomycetes produce diverse fruiting bodies.

Description
(a) Corn smut (Ustilago maydis) produces dikaryotic mycelial masses within the kernels (fruits) of infected corn plants. These mycelia produce many dark spores in which karyogamy and meiosis occur. Masses of these dark spores cause the smutty appearance. When the spores germinate, they produce basidiospores that can infect other corn plants.
