Ascomycota has a faster evolutionary rate and higher species diversity than Basidiomycota.

Science China. Life sciences - 1 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

Differences in rates of nucleotide or amino acid substitutions among major groups of organisms are repeatedly found and well documented. A growing body of evidence suggests a link between the rate of neutral molecular change within populations and the evolution of species diversity. More than 98% of terrestrial fungi belong to the phyla Ascomycota or Basidiomycota. The former is considerably richer in number of...
