Ascomycetes and basidiomycetes (4570 words) |
 | The basidia are drawn in green, the spores in brown and the general gill tissue again in grey. |
| The basidia are in the smooth, semi-glossy undersurface - not the dull, roughened to bristly upper surface. |
| In all of the preceding basidiomycetes the basidia are persistent. |
| Fruiting body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (195 words) |
| In fungi, the fruiting body (also known as sporocarp) is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne. |
| The fruiting body is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cycle, with the rest of the life cycle being characterized by vegetative mycelial growth. |
| If the spores are borne on the club-like cells called basidia, the fruiting body can be called a basidiocarp (or basidioma, plural: basidiomata); if they are in sac-like asci, the fruiting body is an ascocarp (or ascoma, plural: ascomata). |
