what type of FB does sordaria of sordariales have?
perithecia
describe the perithecia of sordaria of sordariales
dark
sometimes doesn’t have have a pre-formed pore
describe the peridium of sordaria of sordariales
leathery
describe the asci of sordaria of sordariales
asci are in fascles
ovoid to cylindrical
thin refractile apical ring which is sometimes deliquesce
deliquesce
describe the centrum of sordaria of sordariales
deliquescent paraphyses which grow from the bottom
asci - mature at diff times & singly occupy the ostiole
describe the dispersal of ascospores of sordaria of sordariales
forcibly discharged by the apical apparatus (sphincter) where they’re squeezed out of the perithecium
describe how the asexual stage forms in sordaria of sordariales
will sometimes from right from the spores still contained in asci
will push through the walls of asci & form conidiogenous cells
describe the ascospores of sordaria of sordariales
hyaline to dark
1-2 celled
various types of ornamentation
in some taxa there is a gelatinous sheath or appendages present
what is the substrate of sordaria of sordariales?
dung
what is a characteristic feature of sordaria of sordariales?
deliquesce asci
describe the perithecia of xylariales
leathery to carbonaceous
embedded in or on a dark stroma
fascles
hymenium that arises from ascogenous hyphae from croziers
describe the asci of xylariales
exist in a basal layer (hymenium)
cylindrical to club shape
have a thin amylose apical ring or stack of rings
mature at diff times resulting in ascospores of diff ages in the perithecium
describe the ascospores of xylariales
dark
does xylariales have periphyses?
yes
describe the periphyses of xylariales
present int he neck of the FB
describe the paraphyses of xylariales
develop from the bottom & sides of the perithecium causing an expansion - unique
will deliquesce
become lysed by the developing asci & become invisible
what stage is easily identified in Xylariales?
anamorphic - sympodula
what is the substrate of Xylariales?
wood, form cankers
