| Inhibition of basidiospore germination by copper from MCQ, ACQ and CCA leachates. |
| Basidiospore infection, which occurs in summer and autumn, is usually limited to an area within 1.5 km of the alternate host, owing to the spores being delicate and short-lived. |
| At least 10 h of rain appear necessary for basidiospore production, dew being insufficient for teliospore germination. |
| Two different basidiospore solutions were always tested per time point for a species. |
| We use this observation and present a new technique of bulk basidiospore isolation from mushrooms with reduced risk of contamination by unwanted microbes. |
| Each basidiospore contains a recombinant haploid nucleus, the product of meiosis. |
