The peridioles, followed by the highly adhesive funicular cord and basal hapteron, may hit a nearby plant stem or stick.
2.
The hapteron sticks to it, and the funicular cord wraps around the stem or stick powered by the force of the still-moving peridiole.
3.
For example, the hyphae of the hapteron form a dense tangled network, while the hyphae of the funicular cord are arranged in a twisted form like a rope.
4.
In the purse and middle piece is a coiled thread of interwoven hyphae called the funicular cord, attached at one end to the peridiole and at the other end to an entangled mass of hyphae called the hapteron.
