The diversity of propagules, or simply``pleomorphy''(or``pleomorphism''), is a characteristic
of most fungi. In recent years, knowledge with respect to pleomorphy and its dramatic …

The fruiting bodies of homobasidiomycetes include some of the most complex forms that
have evolved in the fungi, such as gilled mushrooms, bracket fungi and puffballs ('pileate …

Fruiting body traits are among the most widely used characters in fungal classification. Due
to the paucity and homoplasy of ascomatal features, however, ascomycete classification has …

summary The fossil record is a long‐neglected source of valuable information concerning
the diversity, structure, evolution and activities of ancient fungi. However, interest in these …

Certainly only a relatively few species of the Pezizales have been studied in culture. I hope
that this paper will stimulate more efforts in this direction. A few patterns are emerging from …

Fungal evolution manifests itself at anatomical and morphological levels mainly in
sporocarps and sporangia (Poelt 1986); trophic structures (hyphae, mycelia, budding cells) …

Fungi belong to the modular class of organisms characterized by an iterative, indeterminate
mode of growth; internal age structure; localized rather than generalized senescence; …
