Abstract
The present study reports developmental stages of Synaptomitus orchiphilus inside the germinating orchid seed, Mycophoris elongatus, in Dominican amber. Evidence is presented of fungal hyphae, monilioform cells and basidiocarps with basidia and basidiospores developing in cells of the seed. This is the first record of the teleomorphic stages of a basidiomycete developing in an angiosperm seed.
