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. [...]
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). [...]
In this article we will discuss about vegetative structures of agaricus. 1. Vegetative mycelium grows within the soil. 2. The primary mycelium is septate, haploid, short lived, and each cell contains oil globules, vacuoles and one nucleus. 3. The secondary mycelium is dikaryotic and long-lived. 4. The hyphae of the secondary mycelium are long, branched and remain twisted to form [...]
