Fig. 3: Morphology of heterokaryotic and homokaryotic sporocarps.
From: Invasive Californian death caps develop mushrooms unisexually and bisexually
a Heterokaryotic sporocarp found in 2021. b Homokaryotic sporocarp found in 2021. c Scanning electron microscopy of a unisporic basidium from a homokaryotic sporocarp. Arrowhead: immature spore; arrow: basidium. d Frequency spectra of the number of spores per basidium among five individuals. Homokaryotic individuals are bold (g21 and g22). Number of basidia counted indicated within each column. e, f Z-stack composite image of confocal microscopy of trisporic basidia from heterokaryotic (e) and homokaryotic (f) sporocarps; in (f) the basidium was more mature and nuclei are dividing. Red: Vybrant Orange (nuclei); cyan: Calcofluor White (cell wall). Scale bars: 10 µm.
