Fungal Word Friday: Conidiogenesis


Conidiogenesis is the technique utilized by conidial fungi to produce spores.

It falls into two basic patterns: Blastic conidiogenesis, where the condia develops before being separated off by a cross wall; and thallic conidiogenesis, in which a cross wall develops prior to the spore itself.
