1895 M. C. Potter tr. E. Warming Handbk. Systematic Bot. 144 The unseptate basidia (autobasidia) of the Autobasidiomycetes are the third group.
1928 C. W. Dodge tr. E. A. Gäumann Compar. Morphol. Fungi xxv. 412 The basidia in which nuclear division is not followed by formation of septa are called auto- or holobasidia.
1977 Mycologia 69 59 As in many secotiaceous fungi close to certain families of the Agaricales, the basidia are partly autobasidia as far as can be concluded from their shape.
1996 R. T. Moore in D. M. Roberts et al. Evol. Microbial Life 215 The basidia are undivided autobasidia and produce ballistospores.
