An apothecium (plural: apothecia) is a wide, open, saucer-shaped or cup-shaped fruit body. It is sessile and fleshy. The structure of the apothecium chiefly consists of three parts: hymenium (upper concave surface), hypothecium, and excipulum (the "foot"). The asci are present in the hymenium layer. The asci are freely exposed at maturity.
An ascocarp is the fruiting body of the sexual phase in Ascomycota. There are five morphologically different types of ascocarp, namely: Naked asci: these occur in simple ascomycetes; asci are produced on the organism's surface.
Discharging asci usually have a specially differentiated tip, either a pore or an operculum. In some hymenium forming genera, when one ascus bursts, it can trigger the bursting of many other asci in the ascocarp resulting in a massive discharge visible as a cloud of spores – the phenomenon called "puffing". This is an example of positive ...
Ascocarp of Sarcoscypha austriaca. The sporocarp (also known as fruiting body, fruit body or fruitbody) of fungi is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne.
Other than the anamorph genus Costantinella, the three remaining genera of Morchellaceae are distinguished by ascocarp morphology. Morchella species have an ascocarp with a sponge-like pileus, with a hollow stipe and pileus. Verpa species have a cup-like or thimble-shaped, smooth or wrinkled pileus above a hollow stipe.
Ascocarp – the fruiting body of a lichen, which contains the asci. [11] Ascus (pl. asci) – a sexual, fungal spore-bearing structure, typically sac-like in shape. [12] Ascospore – a fungal spore, the product of meiosis, produced in an ascus. [13] Epispore – a transparent bag-like outer covering on some spores, [9] which helps to ...
ascocarp (syn. ascoma) ... Basidiomycota is a large taxon within the Kingdom Fungi that includes those species that produce spores in a club-shaped structure called a ...
The disease cycle of rose powdery mildew starts when the sexual spores, ascospores, of the pathogen survive the winter in a structure composed of hyphae called an ascocarp. The specific ascocarp is a chasmothecium, or cleistothecium, and has a circular shape to it.
