in the fossil record during the Silurian Period of the Paleozoic era. Some dispersed, fragmentary fossils of disputed affinity, primarily spores and cuticles

produces haploid spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from two sets to one. The resulting haploid spores germinate and

tough skin surrounding a mass of spores. When they mature, the skin splits open and they release their spores. The spore print color of Agaricaceae species

sexual reproduction leads to spore formation, but unlike other members of this group, Azolla is heterosporous, producing spores of two kinds. During the summer

majority of species have eight spores per ascus, though a few species are many-spored, and several Menegazzia species have two spores per ascus. Ascospores are

mantle, the stem, the fronds, the coziers (fiddleheads), and leaves with spores. An unusual feature is that Psaronius did not have a true trunk, but had

four 4 μm-long, spore-bearing sterigmata. The basidia have clamps on their bases; they become 15–25 × 5–6 μm large. The hyaline spores are constant or
