Basidiomycetes Are the Only Fungal Group That Produces Lignin Peroxidases

question 74

True/False

Basidiomycetes are the only fungal group that produces lignin peroxidases, which are chemicals that can break down lignin and lignified tissues. Basidiomycetes growing within a fallen log would get less nutrition than ascomycetes because more of the cellulose in the log would be available to be broken down and absorbed.
