(See Figure 178.) The spores of toadstools and of all other fungi which belong to the same group are borne at the ends of very slender branches which arise from a structure, usually club- shaped, which is called the basidium. (See Figure 179.) When conditions are just right, the sporophores of fungi suddenly appear. Moisture, temperature, and the amount of food present in the hyphas are some of the conditions upon which the appearance of sporophores depends. This is well illustrated in the grow- ing of mushrooms for market. Good mushrooms sell for as much as a dollar a pound, and thousands of pounds are grown artificially every year. The mushroom grower plants what is called spawn. The spawn of mushrooms is simply a mass of mycelium in a state of suspended animation. It is the object of the mushroom grower to get this spawn to Fig. 178. - The spore print of a duce ag many spor0phoreS as mushroom.
