Ascocarps, the fruiting structures of ascomycota fungi, contain asci that produce and disperse ascospores for germination. They come in three forms: apothecium, cleistothecium, and perithecium, each differing in structure and method of spore release. Notably, ascocarps can contain eight haploid nuclei within their asci.

1. Ascocarps (mark all that true statements): contain asci that produce ascospores, which are
dispersed and germinate to form new mycelia contain asci that produce genetically Identical
ascospores contain asci, which each contain eight haploid nuclei contain gills and a cap (a
typical mushroom structure) each contain eight haploid nuclei

Ascpcarps...
Ascocarps also called ascoma, plural ascomata, fruiting structure of fungi of the phylum
Ascomycota (kingdom Fungi). The ascocarp contain saclike structures (asci) that usually bear
four to eight ascospores. ascocarps are in the form of apothecium ,cleistothecium or
perithecium.Apothecium is stalked and either disklike, saucer-shaped, or cup-shaped with
exposed asci. The largest known apothecium, produced by Geopyxis cacabus, has a stalk 1 metre
(40 inches) high and a cup 50 centimetres (20 inches) across. Cleistothecia are spherical and
must rupture or disintegrate to release their ascospores. Perithecia are globular or flask-shaped
with an apical opening for discharge of ascospores.
