Of course, most fungi are primarily disassociated hyphae, with the only 'vegetative' structures of the fungal body otherwise (in the sense I used the term in the post) being there to support the reproductive structures (like, for instance, the stalk of a mushroom). I did find <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1691125/pdf/12396494.pdf" rel="nofollow">this paper</a> on reproductive evolution in Basidiomycota which indicated that transitions from simple to complex morphologies were more common than the other way around.Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-47324302714136723782017-09-02T19:13:55.524+11:002017-09-02T19:13:55.524+11:00Is the dissociated-hyphae-and-fruiting bodies morp...Is the dissociated-hyphae-and-fruiting bodies morphology the result of reduction from something more organized (somewhat like <i>Sacculina</i> barnacles) or did they start as basically just hyphae and evolved fruiting bodies as their only advanced structures?Andreas Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802392912541974977noreply@blogger.com
