A Basidiocarp is a mushroom of Fungi division Basidiomycota. Specifically, the basidiocarp is the visible part of the organism, typically protruding above the ground or other substrate. Its two major parts are the stipe (stalk) and the pileus (cap). The basidiocarp is the fruiting (reproductive) body of the mushroom in which spores ( Basidiospores ) are produced and distributed.

Mushroom collectors gather edible basidiocarps for food.
