From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gelasinospora is a genus of fungi within the order Sordariales.
[edit] Reproduction
- Gelasinospora as a genus is made up of perithecial fungi, meaning that they squeeze out their ascospores through an ostiole.
- Spores do not germinate easily, needing a treatment of temperature, chemicals or a combination of the two to initiate germination.
- Like most ascomycetes, Gelasinospora creates 8 spores per ascocarp.
