Type of spore-bearing surface: gills, pores, et cetera. Descriptor of the general shape of the cap. Descriptor of how the hymenium attaches to the stem. Applies even to ridged, toothed and pored species, despite parameter name. Indicates if a universal or partial veil is present. Color of the spore print. Indicates how the mushroom obtains ...
Paecilomyces variotii, also known by the name Byssochlamys spectabilis for the sexual state, is a common environmental mold from the Phylum Ascomycota (Family Thermoascaceae). [1] It is widespread in the environment and can be found in composts, soils and wood, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] as well es a common environmental contaminant in indoor air and ...
Chaetomium ascospores with their characteristic football shape. Chaetomium is a genus of fungi in the Chaetomiaceae family. It is a dematiaceous (dark-walled) mold normally found in soil, air, cellulose and plant debris.
A cluster of conidiophore s bearing the spore mass, like a cushion. [363] statismospore A spore that is not forcibly discharged, unlike a ballistospore. Seen in the basidiospores of Gastromycetes. From Gr. statis, immobility. [364] stellate Like a star in form, especially spores. [365] sterigma. pl. sterigmata
The plasmodia abandon their nutrient intake and crawl, attracted by light – a positive phototaxis – towards a dry, light area, to get an optimal spread of the spores. Once the fructification begins, it cannot be stopped. If disturbances occur, malformed spore-bearing fruit bodies are often produced. [11] [19] Woodlouse with myxogastria spores
A basidium usually bears four sexual spores called basidiospores. Occasionally the number may be two or even eight. Each reproductive spore is produced at the tip of a narrow prong or horn called a sterigma (pl. sterigmata), and is forcefully expelled at full growth. The word basidium literally means "little pedestal". This is the way the ...
Spores have a germ pore, a flattened area in the center of the spore surface through which a germ tube may emerge. [23] The spore-bearing cells (the basidia) are four-spored, club-shaped, and measure 10–15 by 4–7 μm. [27] Studies have shown that the basidia develop in four discrete generations.
The spores are cylindrical, smooth, and hyaline (translucent), with dimensions of 3–4 by 1–2 μm. [16] The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are cylindrical, with dimensions of 20–25 by 3–4 μm. They have eight sterigmata (slender extensions that attach to the spores), as well as a clamp at their base. [13]
