A spore leaving the perithecium travels nearly straight up at first. |
The asci are unitunicate, 8-spored with deliquescent base so that mature asci lie free in the perithecium at maturity. |
Moeller, on the contrary, represents each body as a perithecium, and our examination confirms Moeller's view. |
Since the perithecium grows out into the medium from the hymenium after nuclear pairing, this is ascohymenial development. |
Features of the spores and the perithecium in which they occur suggest that this may be a fossil species of Savoryella. |
When mature, a perithecium contains several hundred asci that are ejected by turgor pressure. |
