ascospores. A spore produced within the saclike cell of the sexual state of a fungus.
auricle. A small earlike projection from the base of a leaf or petal.
These fungi form meiotic spores called ascospores, which are enclosed in a special sac-like structure called an ascus. This division includes morels, a few mushrooms and truffles, single-celled yeasts (e.g.
Ascospores, on the other hand, are formed following sexual reproduction. If two different mating types ("sexes") are allowed to grow together, they will fuse to form a diploid zygote.
An ascus containing eight ascospores, produced in species in which the tetrad normally undergoes a postmeiotic mitotic division.

ascomycetes Division of fungi that contains the yeasts and morels; ascomycetes produce an ascus (or sac) in which ascospores are produced.
