. Comparative morphology of Fungi. Fungi. 570 COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF FUNGI swells greatly and the dicaryon fuses, forming a single diploid nucleus. The zeugites elongate, forming the basidia. Because of the mutual pressure under the epidermis, they are flattened next each other and form a compact layer which is imbedded in a gel secreted by the membranes. In some species the basidia are thickened at the tip. This is primarily a biological adaptation, since the tips must rupture the epidermis by their pressure. After a time the basidia divide, as in Auricularia, into. Please note that these
