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.
Mature sclerotia will produce spore-bearing structures known as clavula, where basidia and basidiospores can form. During the winter, the sclerotia begin to germinate and produce mycelium under a snow cover. The mycelium eventually spreads, produces infection cushions, and penetrates plant tissue.
Typhula blight (commonly called gray snow mold or speckled snow mold) is most commonly known as a turf disease, but can also be a problem with wheat. Typhula blight is caused by a Typhula fungus, either Typhula incarnata or T. ishikariensis. Typhula incarnata is the causal agent for gray snow mold and T. ishikariensis causes speckled snow mold.

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 ...
The body of mold consists of a thread-like root that invades the food, a stalk that rises above the food and may not be visible to the naked eye, and spores that form at the end of the stalks ...
[5] [6] The genus name "Lomentospora" referred to the shape of the apex of the spore-bearing cell, which the authors interpreted to be a rachis resembling a bean pod of the sort constricted at each seed. The species epithet "prolificans" derived from the prolific nature of the mold's sporulation.
The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are shaped like long clubs, four-spored, and measure 25–30 by 4–5 μm. They are smooth or have a few basal protuberances (acanthobasidia). The spores are short-ellipsoid in shape, thin
