Read the below given notes to learn about homothallism, a phenomenon in those fungi which are self-fertile and self-compatible. Homothallism is the phenomenon in those fungi which are self-fertile and self-compatible. Such fungi are known as Homothallic fungi. The thallus in these fungi is of one and single strain, thus two mycelia developing from a single spore are capable of [...]
In this article we will discuss about the features of homobasidiomycetidae. 1. Form large conspicuous fructifications called basidiocarps. 2. The septal pore is a complex dolipore septum with parenthesomes. 3. The basidium develops directly from a terminal cell of a dikaryotic hypha. 4. It is simple, unseptate, typically club-shaped or cylindrical. 5. With a few exceptions the basidium shows no [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of agaricus with the help of suitable diagrams. Mycelium of Agaricus: The primary mycelium produced by the germination of basidiospore is of short duration. It is haploid and either of plus strain or minus strain. The hyphae are septate. The cells contain oil globules, vacuoles and are short and uninucleate. [...]
