Why basidiomycota pylum are common known as club fungi?

Basidiomycota phylum are commonly known as club fungi because they produce specialized reproductive structures called basidia, which are club-shaped cells that bear spores on their surface. These basidia are responsible for the production and dispersal of spores, which are essential for the reproduction and dispersal of these fungi. The club-like shape of the basidia is what gives this phylum its common name of club fungi.
