    The document defines and describes 7 types of asexual spores (conidiomata) produced by fungi in the division Deuteromycetes: 1) Amerospores which are non-filamentous and without projections longer than the spore body, 2) Didymospores which have only two cells, 3) Phragmospores which have two or more transverse septa, 4) Dictyospores which are multicellular with septations intersecting in more than one plane, 5) Scolecospores which are very long, 6) Helicospores which are strongly curved or spiral, and 7) Staurospores which are shaped like a pinwheel with each branch also being

    Experiment 2 – Deuteromycetes
    August 28, 2018

    A. Various Types of Conidiomata (Asexual Spores): Saccardoan

    1. Amerospores: a non-filamentous spore with no septations and with no projections


    longer than the spore body (does not include strongly curved spores or very long
    spores) (https://www.emlab.com/resources/fungal-library/amerospores/)
    2. Didymospores: a spore with only two cells (does not include strongly curved spores or
    very long spores).

    3. Phragmospores: a spore with two or more transverse septa (does not include strongly
    curved spores or very long spores).

    4. Dictyospores: a multicellular spore with septations that intersect in more than one plane.
    These are also called muriform spores.
    5. Scolecospores: a very long spore (includes both septate and non-septate spores).

    6. Helicospores: a strongly curved or spiral spore.

    7. Staurospores: A septate spore shaped like a pinwheel. Usually, each branch of the
    pinwheel is also septate.
