peridium

The name refers to the behavior of the outer peridium.

The peridium is often given a specific name in particular species of fungi.

If there is only a single layer, it is called a peridium.

The peridium is a single layer, becoming wine-red when exposed.

The peridium may also rip in such a way that it appears as if there is a ring at the top of the stem.

In fungi the peridium may be referred to as the tunica.

The smooth, polished surface of the peridium is sticky.

The peridium (the wall of the sporangium) is thin and short-lasting.

When dry, the peridium becomes brown and develops wrinkles.

The peridium is roughly spherical, and made of two distinct tissue layers.

The peridium, which consists of six distinct layers, forms two "cups" at maturity.

Scales begin to appear on the surface of the peridium of some specimens at about this time.

In some species, the inner peridium is borne on a stalk or pedicel.

In contrast, earthball fungi generally have only one peridium, which is 3-9 cm across.

The thin flesh underneath the peridium stains pink to red when the fruit body is cut open.

The membranous, single layered peridium is outlasting the below half.

The peridium is white to buff-colored on the external surface, and has a gelatinous layer inside.

The peridium (outer wall) consists of several layers, including a gelatinous layer.

Many of the outer ends are fused with the upper part of the peridium wall.

The lower edge of the peridium is further stretched as it is pulled upward and outward.

For most fungi, the peridium is ornamented with scales or spines.

For example, the peridium of the sub-family Phalloideae is called a volva.

The context is fleshy and may be gelatinous in the outer portion of the peridium.

The surface of the peridium (outer skin) is either smooth, or has minute wart-like projections.

The genus differs from the similar Secotium in that it lacks a peridium.
