On fertile branches, some of the leaves were replaced by spore capsules.
2.
The sporophyte develops a long stalk ending in an elongated spore capsule.
3.
The spore capsule is up to long, red below and yellowish above.
4.
The spore capsule, at the end of the 7-16 millimeter-long seta is strumose and more or less inclined.
5.
Huldtgren et al ., following x-ray tomography of microfossils of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation, has interpreted them as mesomycetozoan spore capsules.
6.
For instance, we learn how a fungus called Phytophthora infestans awakens from winter dormancy to produce wind-blown spore capsules, which disgorge swimming spores onto potato plants.
7.
In most liverworts, the elaters are unattached, but in some leafy species ( such as " Frullania " ) a few elaters will remain attached to the inside of the sporangium ( spore capsule ).
8.
Hat-throwing fungi fire their spore capsules up to 2 m, and the cannonball fungi of the genus Sphaerobolus, such as " S . stellatus ", the artillery fungus can throw sticky spore sacs up to 6 m horizontally.
9.
Key distinguishing features are that the spore capsules of the Alpine moss are at the bottom of large single-celled stomata; the capsule outer wall has smooth cells; the leaf sheath is much longer than that of " Pogonatum urnigerum " and the leaf blade is narrower and more spiky.
