Abstract

Clusters of spherical—globose spores found predominantly in the cortical tissues of underground plant parts appear nearly identical to the chlamydospores produced by the zygomycete fungal family Endogonaceae. The thick-walled spores range from approximately 100–400 μm in diameter and possess a multilayered wall. The hyphal attachment may be simple or funnel-shaped, and in some associated with a septum. A few hyphal strands are associated with the chlamydospores. The fossil spores are compared to the chlamydospores of the vesicular—arbuscular endomycorrhiza Glomus.
