Abstract
Small subunit (18S) rRNA gene sequences from 38 species of fungi (three ascomycetes, 35 basidiomycetes) were analysed using parsimony. The resulting phylogeny supported a hypothesis of three major lineages within the basidiomycetes. The lineages are recognized as classes, the Urediniomycetes, Ustilaginomycetes and Hymenomycetes. Each lineage contained some yeasts or yeast producing taxa. The systematic relationships of basidiomycetous yeasts are discussed with reference to the three class taxonomic system.
