| Furthermore, there was an abundance of ascospores of coprophilous fungi from the pollen spectrum of the baby's mother. |
| After meiosis, the four meiotic products undergo an additional mitotic division to yield eight haploid nuclei, which differentiate into an octad of eight ascospores. |
| After dispersal, the ascospores may germinate and form a new haploid mycelium. |
| Karyogamy in the asci is followed immediately by meiosis and the production of ascospores. |
| Over the 24-hr period of growth, GR5 ascospores germinated and formed small colonies visible without magnification. |
| As the spores grow, fluid pressure builds up in the ascus until the operculum bursts open and the ascospores are blown out into the environment. |
