Comment on Asterophora lycoperdoides (6255)

Summary: asexual spores

Comment: The chlamydospores on the cap are formed by mitosis and are asexual, rather than being formed by meiosis like the basidiospores in a hymenium. thus there are no basidia on the cap or on the underside. therefore no hymenium. it’s a keen mushroom.
