These are spores this is in their spores.

These structures aid reproduction by efficiently dispersing spores or spore containing propagules.

Once formed, these spores are very hard to eradicate.

Now after sporulation, the spores repel.

These spores can be transported by clothing or shoes.

It's covered with a crocheted netting that is embedded with mushroom spores.

First, a burial suit infused with mushroom spores, the Mushroom Death Suit.

I actually chased the mycelium, when it stopped producing spores.

In Pleurocapsales, the cells have the ability to form internal spores (baeocytes).

In addition there was also a spike of fungal spores immediately after the Permian Triassic boundary.

And the spores are germinating, and the mycelium forms and goes underground.

The chief difference between spores and seeds as dispersal units is that spores are unicellular, while seeds contain within them a multicellular gametophyte that produces a developing embryo, the multicellular sporophyte of the next generation.

The fundamental forms of ferns followed, to bear spores that foreshadowed seeds.

There was a spike of fern and lycopod spores immediately after the close of the Permian.

However, the relative proportion of fungal spores relative to spores formed by algal species is difficult to assess, the spike did not appear worldwide, and in many places it did not fall on the Permian Triassic boundary.

In addition, fungal spores rose gradually and declined similarly along with a prevalence of woody debris.

The spores of Lycopodiophyta are highly flammable and so have been used in fireworks.

For example, the structure of the spore bearing cells in some ascomycete species is such that the buildup of substances affecting cell volume and fluid balance enables the explosive discharge of spores into the air.

The major fungal groupings have initially been delineated based on the morphology of their sexual structures and spores for example, the spore containing structures, asci and basidia, can be used in the identification of ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, respectively.

He discovered that fungal spores that attacked the animal were destroyed by phagocytes.

Escherichia is a genus of Gram negative, nonspore forming, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae.

They sporulated, the spores attract insects, the insects laid eggs, eggs became larvae.

An example of an organism or two that happens to be quite immortal would be plant seeds or bacterial spores.

Fungal spores are also a cause of allergies, and fungi from different taxonomic groups can evoke allergic reactions.

For instance, most plants are capable of vegetative reproduction reproduction without seeds or spores but can also reproduce sexually.

As pointed out by , however, the risk of the name of a pollen grain supplanting the name of a pollen organ is most unlikely.

The bacteria generally enter through a break in the skin such as a cut or puncture wound by a contaminated object.

This multicellular organism eventually will produce a fruiting body with spores that are resistant to environmental dangers.

Other fungi, like the puffballs, rely on alternative mechanisms for spore release, such as external mechanical forces.

These fungi form meiotic spores called ascospores, which are enclosed in a special sac like structure called an ascus.

These species reproduce by shedding spores and have macroscopic alternation of generations, although some are homosporous while others are heterosporous.

They reproduce by both sexual and asexual means, and like basal plant groups (such as ferns and mosses) produce spores.

The bird's nest fungi use the force of falling water drops to liberate the spores from cup shaped fruiting bodies.

This ejection ensures exit of the spores from the reproductive structures as well as traveling through the air over long distances.

Another strategy is seen in the stinkhorns, a group of fungi with lively colors and putrid odor that attract insects to disperse their spores.

Palynology is an interdisciplinary science and is a branch of earth science (geology or geological science) and biological science (biology), particularly plant science (botany).

But the insects aren't stupid, and they would avoid the spores when they came close, and so I morphed the cultures into a non sporulating form.

Specialized mechanical and physiological mechanisms, as well as spore surface structures (such as hydrophobins), enable efficient spore ejection.

Many natural substances may be present in tiny amounts in an unfiltered air sample, including dust, pollen and spores, sea spray, volcanic ash, and meteoroids.

During this time, exposure to toxins or bacterial pathogens has the potential to compromise survival of the species by limiting spore production.

Bacterial spores are thought now by scientists to exist as individual cells that are alive, but in suspended animation for as long as 250 million years.

These colonies can exhibit growth shapes and colors (due to spores or pigmentation) that can be used as diagnostic features in the identification of species or groups.

Ethylene oxide can kill all known viruses, bacteria (including spores) and fungi, and is compatible with most materials even when repeatedly applied.

Some illustrative case studies

For much of the Paleozoic Era (542 251 Ma), the fungi appear to have been aquatic and consisted of organisms similar to the extant chytrids in having flagellum bearing spores.
