31. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores . 32. It forms club-shaped basidia with four apical sterigmata on which oval, hyaline basidiospores are borne. 33. Each basidium will generally produce two large basidiospores that are 5 6 ?7 10 ?m in size. 34. The brooms are actually needles that were infected from basidiospores from the bearberry alternate host in spring. 35. Meiosis follows shortly with the production of 4 haploid nuclei that migrate into 4 external, usually apical basidiospores . 36. Most Psathyrellaceae basidiospores have germ pores, and the pigment in the spore walls bleaches in concentrated sulfuric acid. 37. In Canada, 8 % of children attending allergy clinics were found to be allergic to Ganoderma, a basidiospore . 38. They are dimitic or trimitic with smooth, thick-walled basidiospores and cause a white rot in affected wood. 39. A basidiocarp is formed in which club-like structures known as basidia generate haploid basidiospores after karyogamy and meiosis. 40. The diploid nuclei of blastospores can undergo meiosis, including recombination, to form haploid basidiospores that can be dispersed.
