👉 Cystobasidium is a type of fungus that produces cysts in its cells, which are typically sessile and often attached to other organisms like fungi or plants. This process allows them to survive and thrive, as they do not require a host cell for their growth. Cystobasidium is also known for its ability to produce spores, which can be dispersed through the air or soil by wind, insects, or even human activities like gardening.
