fruiting

Ascoma (ascocarp) The fruiting body of most fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, in which the asci are borne.

Hypanthium obconic, campanulate, or cyathiform, caducous at fruiting time, only annular base remained.

Crude polysaccharide was obtained from Agaricus blazei Murill fruiting body by hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation and pronase treatment.

Hymenium (pl. hymenia) A layer of the fruiting body of certain ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi in which the asci or basidia are borne.

In most basidiomycotes the basidia are borne on a special fertile layer, the hymenium, on the surface of a fruiting body, the BASIDIOMA.

Habitat and ecology: Growing in thickets, bamboo groves and stone crevices on hill-slopes or near seasides. Flowering & fruiting: Mar.-Sept.

Besides a key to the genera, a key to the species, as well as descriptions of thalline and fruiting morphology, chemistry, and distribution range are provided for each included species.

Results Appropriate temperature, humidity, culture proportion and inoculate volume are confirmed and the growing content of polysaccharide in fruiting body can be increased by heteroauxing and zeatin.

Puffballs are named for the fact that puffs of spores are released when the dry and powdery tissues of the mature spherical fruiting body (basidiocarp) are disturbed.
