| 11. | The gleba is a solid mass of spores, generated within an enclosed area within the sporocarp.
|
| 12. | The male sporocarp is greenish or reddish and looks like the egg mass of an insect or spider.
|
| 13. | The sporocarps are functionally and developmentally modified leaflets, although they have much shorter stalks than the vegetative leaflets.

|
| 15. | The plant produces sporocarps which can remain viable for 50 years and only release spores after being thoroughly soaked.
|
| 16. | Each growing season, only one sporocarp develops per node along the rhizome near the base of the other leaf-stalks.
|
| 17. | "H . hyalinus " specifically attaches to the basidiocarp on the sporocarp ( fruiting body ) of the fungus.
|
| 18. | Inside the sporocarp, the modified leaflets bear several "'microsporangia, each of which will produce many small male microspores.
|
| 19. | The spores remain dormant inside the sporocarp through unfavorable conditions, but when conditions are suitable and wet, the sporocarp will germinate.
