In his 1837 paper " Sur le hymenium des champignons ", he provided an early, comprehensive description of the basidium and cystidium of basidiomycete fungi, and was able to establish the role that the basidium played in spore production.

The use of scanning electron microscopy has revealed that " L . periphragmoides " ( in addition to several other Phallales species ) has a hilar scar a small indentation in the surface of the spore where it was previously connected to the basidium via the sterigma.

The spores of " C . stercoreus " are roughly spherical and relatively large, with typical dimensions of 20 35 x 20 25 sessile ( growing directly from the surface of the basidium, without attachment via a sterigmata ), and are separated from the basidia after it collapses and gelatinizes.

Using his marvelous stroboscopic polarizing filter he shows the boys a previously undetected satellite of the Earth, which he calls Basidium-X . He refits their spaceship, giving them some special fuel he invented to power it, and tells them to fly to the mushroom planet ( after getting their parents'permission ).

The basidia ( spore-bearing cells ) are four-spored, club-shaped, and measure 25 30 by 6.0 6.5 �m . " C . zonata " has " basidioles " basidium-like cells in the hymenium that lack the slender projections known as " sterigmata " that attach to spores.
