Mycena galericulata produces a white spore print. The spores are ellipsoid, 8–10 by 5.5–7 μm, and amyloid—which means they will turn blue-black to black when stained with Melzer's reagent. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) have stout sterigmata, and measure 34–40 by 7–9 μm. They may be either two-spored or four-spored.
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 ...
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
The plasmodium eventually transforms into a sponge-like aethalium, analogous to the spore-bearing fruiting body of a mushroom; which then degrades, darkening in color, and releases its dark-colored spores. F. septica produces the largest aethalium of any slime mold. [8] This species is known to have its spores dispersed by beetles (family ...
Phycomyces blakesleeanus is a filamentous fungus in the Order Mucorales of the phylum Zygomycota or subphylum Mucoromycotina.The spore-bearing sporangiophores of Phycomyces are very sensitive to different environmental signals including light, gravity, wind, chemicals, and adjacent objects.
Spinellus fusiger, commonly known as bonnet mold, [1] is a species of fungus in the phylum Mucoromycota. It is a pin mold that is characterized by erect sporangiophores (specialized hyphae that bear a sporangium ) that are simple in structure, brown or yellowish-brown in color, and with branched aerial filaments that bear the zygospores .
The spore-bearing filaments, conidiophores are smooth and measure 200-300 μm in length. The hairy surface, penicilli are 8-12 μm long. The hairy surface, penicilli are 8-12 μm long. The conidia are smooth-walled, ellipsoidal in shape, measuring 2.5-4.0 μm long, and are blue or bluish-green in colour. [ 15 ]
A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. [1]
