compare the different types of fruiting bodies in fungi
The well developed fruiting body is found in higher fungi like Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes. The different types of fruiting bodies found in these fungi are:
Ascocarp
These are the fruiting bodies produced by ascomycetes. They have different shapes and these are:
Cleistothecium: These are closed and spherical ascocarps.
2. Perithecium: These are flask shaped ascocarps.
3. Apothecium : These are cup shaped ascocarps. eg.Peziza.
Basidiocarp
These are the fruiting bodies produced by Basidiomyctes. The fruiting bodies vary in size from small microscopic to large ones.
