They find Basidium-X to be a small, verdant world covered in soft moss and tree-size mushrooms.
12.
On a microscopic scale, secotioid fungi do not expel their spores forcibly from the basidium and so the spores are statismospores.
13.
"Cyathus olla " has sessile spores that are directly attached to the basidium, rather than via a sterigma.
14.
For some species of fungus, the hilum is the microscopic indentation left on a spore when it separates from the sterigma of the basidium.
15.
The sterigmata are formed on the basidium as it develops and undergoes meiosis, to result in the production of ( typically ) four nuclei.
16.
The word " basidium " literally means " little pedestal ", from the way in which the basidium supports the spores.

The word " basidium " literally means " little pedestal ", from the way in which the basidium supports the spores.
18.
The nuclei gradually migrate to the tips of the basidium, and one nucleus will migrate into each spore that develops at the tip of each sterigma.
19.
These affinities were the possession of large sterigmata ( " Cerato-basidium " means " horned basidium " ) and the production of basidiospores that produce secondary spores.
