spore case

Spore cases form at the plant's base for reproduction.

Perhaps thousands of sisters and daughters are hiding nearby, each snug inside her own spore case.

At its apex was a globular spore case, about the size of a pinhead.

On the horizon black spore cases popped open.

Spore Cases first appear on level 3.

The sporangia (spore cases) are nestled in the bases of the upper leaves.

The outer tissue layer splits to form star-like rays and expose a circular spore case.

The rays have an irregularly cracked surface, while the spore case is pale brown and smooth with an irregular slit or tear at the top.

This simultaneously pushes the fruit body above ground to reveal a round spore case enclosed in a thin papery endoperidium.

Spore cases, yellowish green, as large as mitres and much resembling them in shape protruded from the heaps.

It also possesses a well-defined collar at the base of the spore case, a longer stipe, and globose, pitted spores.

Escher recognizes the shape and intricate glint of her neighbor's spore case; she is one of Escher's daughters.

Inside the spore case is the gleba-fertile spore-producing tissue that is white and firm when young, but becomes brown and powdery in age.

These rays curve down to expose an inner papery spore case, which contains the fertile spore-bearing tissue, the gleba.

The spore case enclosed by the endoperidium has no stalk (sessile), and is opened at the top by a tear or pore.

The grayish-brown spore case is set on a short, slender stalk, and has a well-defined narrow pore at the top where mature spores may escape.

C. ravenelii is not gelatinous, but instead has warts adorning the spore case, and is smaller than C. cinnabarinum.

It reproduced like the vegetable crytogams, especially the Pteridophyta, having spore cases at the tips of the wings and evidently developing from a thallus or prothallus.

The interior of the spore case, the gleba, is white and solid when young, and divided into oval locules-a characteristic that helps to distinguish it from Geastrum.

To be really sure that one is dealing with a fossil fern it should be possible to see the spore cases, because other kinds of plants can produce fern-like foliage.

Spore Cases appear spontaneously after a short delay in all rooms, with more Spore Cases appearing over time, up to a total of four.

One part of the leaf, the trophophore, is sterile and fernlike; the other, the sporophore, is fertile and carries the clusters of sporangia or spore cases.

Spore cases neither shoot at the player nor move toward him, but if the player shoots one, it will spit out three spores, often in the direction of the player's ship.

Astraeus species are strongly hygroscopic, and absorb moisture from the environment, so that the rays are closed over the spore case when dry, but open up flat when moistened.

Geastrum triplex may be confused with G. saccatum or G. fimbriatum, as the rays do not always crack around the perimeter to form a bowl under the spore case.
