1. In summary, meiosis takes place in a diploid basidium . 2. The diploid basidium begins the cycle again. 3. The paired dikaryon in the basidium fuse ( i . e . karyogamy takes place ). 4. The distinguishing feature of " Uncobasidium " is the basal hook in the basidium . 5. This habitable moon, " Basidium ", in an invisible orbit 50, 000 miles from Earth. 6. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. 7. Each basidium will generally produce two large basidiospores that are 5 6 ?7 10 ?m in size. 8. Arguably, his most important contribution on fungal development was determining the role of the basidium as a charged ampoule. 9. Prior to the production of the basidium , endospores have also been known to form in the interior of teliospores. 10. Teliospores consist of nuclei undergo karyogamy and thereafter meiosis, giving rise to a four-celled basidium with haploid basidiospores.
