Ascomycota

Sac fungi

Important characteristics: Septate hyphae

Asexual reproduction (anamorph): Conidia produced on conidiophores or in

fruiting bodies such as acervuli & pycnidia

Sexual reproduction (teleomorph): Ascospores produced in asci (singular, ascus)

either naked or in fruiting bodies called ascocarps

Usually 8 ascospores per ascus

Sexual Reproduction

Types of ascocarps:1. Cleistotesium (spherical & closed)

3. Apothecium (saucer-shaped)

4. Ascostroma (matrix of mycelium with cavities or locules, either monolocular or multilocular)
