In a study in Sweden, sporocarps of an ectomycorrhizal fungus contained ten times the concentration of radiocesium than the surrounding litter, while saprotrophic species exhibited nearly half that value.
32.
They bear sporocarps of two types, either megasporangia that are few in number ( approximately 10 ), each with single megaspore, or many microsporangia, each with 64 microspores.
33.
Species of " Endogone " form underground structures called " sporocarps " fruiting structures measuring between a few millimeters to in diameter, containing densely interwoven hyphae and zygospores.
34.
However, there are many problems with this method, including ephemeral nature of the sporocarps, difficulty in detecting certain forms ( such as hypogeous structures ), and infrequency of formation in many species.
35.
The sporangia are borne in spherical sporocarps ( " pills " ) which form in the axils of leaves . " Pilularia minuta " from SW Europe is one of the smallest of all ferns.
36.
Epigeous sporocarps that are visible to the naked eye, especially fruitbodies of a more or less agaricoid morphology, are often referred to as mushrooms, while hypogeous fungi are usually called truffles or false truffles.
37.
However, the sporocarps must be abraded, cracked, or have an edge sliced off before submerging them in water so that the water can penetrate to swell the tissues, and germination is infrared-light dependent.
38.
"Marsilea ancyclopoda " is a floating Sporocarps are nodding, below the level of the stems ( this being the only species in the genus with this character ), covered with a pelt of shaggy hairs.
39.
The scientific name " Rhizopogon " is Greek for'root'( Rhiz-)'beard'(-pogon ) and this name was given in reference to the rhizomorphs found on sporocarps of many species.
40.
The sporocarp of " L . amethysteo-occidentalis " is on average larger than that of " L . amethystina ", and has a deeper purple coloration, that fades to vinaceous rather than brownish shades.
