| Method | BEAST and PhyloBayes analyses |
| Comments | The mean age of the Agaricomycetes is ~290 Ma (millions of years ago) in both BEAST and PhyloBayes analyses [95% highest posterior density interval (hpd) = 222 to 372 Ma], with the mean age of the Agaricomycotina placed at ~430 to 470 Ma (95% hpd = 329 to 557 Ma), consistent with basidiomycete fossils that were not used as calibration points, including hyphae with clamp connections from the Mississippian (24) from ~330 Ma. |
