11. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps , each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. 12. The basidiocarp is perennial and the top layer will form layering edges that are dark yellow to brown. 13. Basidiocarps ( fruit bodies ) are produced on soil and litter, sometimes partly encrusting stems of living plants.14. The fruit bodies ( basidiocarps ) of " H . occidentale " are its most identifying feature. 15. Basidiocarps tend to form near the forest floor of affected trees and may be hidden in the forest duff.16. A basidiocarp is formed in which club-like structures known as basidia generate haploid basidiospores after karyogamy and meiosis. 17. The most commonly known basidiocarps are mushrooms, but they may also take other forms ( see Morphology section ). 18. Basidiocarps are Gills are well-developed and radiate outwards from an off-center point of origin or lacking.19. Schematic of a typical basidiocarp , the dipoid reproductive structure of a basidiomycete, showing fruiting body, hymenium and basidia. 20. Basidiocarps ( fruit bodies ), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the " jelly fungi ".
