Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Ascospores: |
Fungi spores which produce an ascus, an elongated sac or cell in which spores of ascomycetes are formed. The largest class of fungi typically found in soil, nutrient rich farm field, marine and fresh water. The majority of ascospores are common saprophytes that are found on decaying plant debris. See Basidiospores |
| Basidiospores: |
Fungi spores produced by a basidium, which are small club shape-like structures, producing spores, typically 4, at the tip of a stalk. Basidiospores are the largest class of fungi which include smuts, rusts, mushrooms, puffballs and jelly fungi, that typically grow on plants and soil. Education Note: Basidiospore rusts grow on plant-like ferns, including gymnosperms, which are pine trees and cone producing trees, and angiosperms, which are seed bearing like grasses, oak trees and strawberries, producing an orange-like look. Basidiospore smuts are parasitic of angiosperms, especially grass and sedges, which produce a sooty look. See Ascospores, Myxomycetes |
| Myxomycetes: |
Any number of slime moulds that grow on damp soil and decaying vegetable matter, such as decaying wood, bark and fruits. See Ascospores, Basidiospores |
