In the Hysteriacei, where the perithecia are elongated, the fissure takes place throughout their length. |
Seated on the mycelium, at the first as little orange points, are the perithecia, which enlarge and become nearly black. |
The perithecia are generally imbedded in the outer portion of the stroma, the mouths opening through the carbonous crust. |
When the internal contents of these perithecia were inspected, only a few minute asci were observed. |
Monoporascus cannonballus produces perithecia with ascospores that are present on the affected roots by the end of the cropping season. |
Also that the perithecia themselves are not perforated at the apex. |
