Description: Notes on this varied group which produce microscopic spores inside special, elongated cells or sacs, known as "asci".
Ascomycetes are 'spore shooters'. They are fungi which produce microscopic spores inside special, elongated cells or sacs, known as 'asci', which give the group its name. As the spores mature within an ascus, increasing fluid pressure builds up inside until eventually the top bursts off, rapidly releasing the spores. In some species, the spores may be shot out distances of up to 30cm.
