認識真菌

真菌的結構

真菌是由一些超幼小、微觀大小的管狀結構組成,稱作菌絲。

菌絲生長並在其末端分支,構成一個龐大的網絡,叫菌絲體。菌絲體負責吸收養分供應自身生長,並在繁殖期形成子實體,並通過子實體上產生的孢子傳播繁殖。孢子只有通過顯微鏡才能觀察到。

真菌孢子

Do you know that mushrooms leave spore prints in nature? Next time, look closely at a wet leaf directly underneath a mushroom cap. The colored dust covering it is actually thousands, perhaps millions, of spores left behind.


Scientists use spore color as a way to identify mushrooms and toadstools. Making a spore print can help us see spore color.
