Septa are subsequently formed at regular intervals along the hyphae to produce uninucleoid compartments, each of which develops into a spore, thus resulting in the formation of spore chains.
The high levels of colonization in the non-rice season may have resulted from a rapid build up late in the season due to reinfection by runner hyphae.
An intersection was considered mycorrhizal if the reticle intersected a coil, a vesicle, or an internal hypha attached to one of these structures.
The layers consist of mineral precipitates and, partially, of biogenic material - mainly fungal hyphae and extracellular polysaccharides.
In one arrangement, dark brownish, greyish or greenish masses of fungal hyphae enclose groups of algal cells.
Many fungal hyphae but few arthropods were seen in the necromass.
Lower porosity would be expected to restrict the spread of fungal hyphae and thus endolithic lichens.
It would be possible to explain if terrestrial fungi are able to survive, germinate and replicate to make new hyphae under extreme conditions.
