Studies in Heterobasidiomycetes. Part 4. Investigations on Entorrhiza casparyana by Light and Electron Microscopy

Abstract

The morphology of hyphae and the development of spores in E. casparyana were studied. Clamp connections are present. The cross walls of the hyphae show the dolipore parenthesome complex. Within the host cells spore formation takes place at the end of spirally coiled hyphae. A few spores germinated as in Tilletia.
