Q

describe the structure of Nidulariaceae in its spore dispersal?

A

nest is a peridium, overtime in evolution it has opened in a nest like structure

peridioles are gleba surrounded by a peridium covering

peridioles sit in a purse, at the base of the purse is a sheath containing a hapteron at the end of a rope like structure called a funiculus

hapteron allows the spore to attach to its substrate

splash cup mechanism pulls the peridioles out by pulling the funiculus out, the funiculus will then wrap around a branch

15
Q

summarize the bellows mechanism

A

raindrops or small animals hit the peridium & as it pushes in, the spores are propagated outwards (by the internal stipe)

in the middle of the puffball there is a sterile region that represent the remaining stipe

Q

how do the gleba & peridium contrast in Lycoperaceae & Nidulariaceae?

A

the outer peridium opens with an inner peridium still covering the gleba in the Nidulariaceae

in Lycoperaceae, once the peridium is cracked, the gleba is directly exposed
