The distinguishing features of the genus are: Germination of the teliospore by several long aseptate hyphae; curved phragmometabasidia development on the apices of these hyphae; and production of basidiospores on a peg in clusters. The type strain of heterothallic, nitrate-negative species Mastigobasidium intermedium is VKM Y-2720T (Bullera intermedia type strain) and the allotype strain is VKM Y-2727AL (Sporobolomyces weijmanii type strain). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-49-3-1301
