Salient Features of Agaricus | Fungi

The following points highlight the twenty salient features of agaricus. 1. The primary mycelium produced by the germination of basidiospores is of short duration. It consists of cells each with a haploid (n) nucleus (A). 2. Soon as a result of hyphal fusions of compatible strains, a binucleate condition established in one of the cells of the primary mycelium (B). [...]

Features of Homobasidiomycetidae | Fungi

In this article we will discuss about the features of homobasidiomycetidae. 1. Form large conspicuous fructifications called basidiocarps. 2. The septal pore is a complex dolipore septum with parenthesomes. 3. The basidium develops directly from a terminal cell of a dikaryotic hypha. 4. It is simple, unseptate, typically club-shaped or cylindrical. 5. With a few exceptions the basidium shows no [...]

Life Cycle of Agaricus | Fungi

In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of agaricus with the help of suitable diagrams. Mycelium of Agaricus: The primary mycelium produced by the germination of basidiospore is of short duration. It is haploid and either of plus strain or minus strain. The hyphae are septate. The cells contain oil globules, vacuoles and are short and uninucleate. [...]
