| 21. | It is distinguished by having an annual to perennial growth habit, cyanophilous basidiospores.
|
| 22. | When basidiospores encounter a favorable substrate, they may germinate, typically by forming hyphae.
|
| 23. | Basidiospores are thin-walled and colourless.
|
| 24. | Peridioles contain glebal tissue, basidia, and basidiospores, surrounded by a hardened wall.
|
| 25. | These specialized spores are called basidiospores.
|
| 26. | These telia produce teliospores which will germinate into aerial basidiospores, spreading and causing further infection.
|
| 27. | As fruiting bodies develop they produce peridioles containing the basidia upon which new basidiospores are made.
|
| 28. | As fruit bodies develop they produce peridioles containing the basidia upon which new basidiospores are made.
|
| 29. | Each teliospore undergoes karyogamy ( fusion of nuclei ) and meiosis to form four haploid spores called basidiospores.
|
| 30. | Once basidiospores arrive on a leaf of the alternative host, they germinate to produce a dikaryotic mycelium.
