No zoospores. Simple pored nonseptate Hyphae. Asexual spores - Sexual nonmotile sporangiospores. Rhizopus - bread molds, rots of fruits and vegetables. Phylum: Ascomycota the sac fungi - most have both teleomorphic sexual and anamorphic asexual stages. Simple septate hyphae. Produce sexual spores ascospores or asexual spores conidia on free hyphae or in asexual fruiting bodies such as Cleistothecium, Perithecium, Apothecium and Pycnidium.
This phylum is responsible for most of our phytopathogenic fungal diseases. Some important pathogens in this phylum: Peach leaf curl Taphrina sp. Powdery mildew Podosphaera, apple Microsphaera azalea etc. Vascular wilt diseases Verticillium, Fusarium etc. Sexual reproduction and structures are rare, lacking or unknown. Simple septate hyphae with some exceptions. Asexual spores - condia produced in pycnidia and acervuli.
Some examples: Asexual anamorphic stage Sexual teleomorphic stage Penicillium Talaromyces Verticillium Hypocrea Septoria Mycosphaerella Botrytis Botryotinia Rhizoctonia Thanatephorus This class is responsible for many rots, wilts, molds, leaf spots and other symptoms.
Phylum: Basidiomycota club and mushroom fungi - complex septate hyphae, clamp connections. Asexual spores - conidia, oidia. Sexual spores - basidiospores produced externally on club-like spore producing structures called basidium For example: Order: Ustilaginales - smut fungi Corn smut Loose smut of barley, wheat etc Bunt of wheat. Common signs in Armillaria are mushrooms at the soil level and mycelia under The bark of the basal portion of the tree Agaricus bisporus — common edible mushroom.
In the majority of cases, fungal infections cause general necrosis of host tissue and often cause stunting, distortions and abnormal changes in plant tissue and organs. The most distinctive and easily identifiable characteristics of fungal infections are the physical presence of signs of the pathogen.
Signs include hyphae, mycelia, fruiting bodies and spores of the fungal pathogen are significant clues to proper identification and diagnosis of a disease. The fruiting bodies of fungi range from microscopic to macroscopic. They come in many shapes and configurations and have their individual characteristics. Powdery mildew on leaf surface The fruiting bodies, along with spores, and mycelium, in most cases can lead to an accurate identification of the disease. The following symptoms are common in fungal infections whether alone or in combination with other fungal pathogens.
Leaf Spots are very common in both biotic and abiotic plant disorders. Fungal leaf spots often take the form of localized lesions consisting of necrotic and collapsed tissue. Leaf spots can vary in size and are generally round and concentric, but can be ovoid or elongated on both leaves and stems of the host.
As the spots develop, they are not restricted by the leaf veins as can be the case in bacterial leaf spots.
Fungal leaf spots will usually have a dry texture but are not dry and papery. Other common symptoms of fungal infections can be: Anthracnose: an ulcer-like lesion that can be necrotic and sunken. These lesions can appear on the fruit, flowers and stems of the host - e. Apple Anthracnose of stems and or leaves Cryptosporiopsis sp. Formally Pezicula sp. Canker: a localized necrotic lesion on woody tissue, often sunken - e.
Douglas fir, upper Twig Canker phomopsis sp. Either the seed rots before emergence or the seedling rots at the soil line and falls over and dies.
Several soil-born fungi cause this disease. The most common genera involved are Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Pythium. On the surface of fruiting bodies, gram-negative bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas , and Myxococcus prevailed, while in the internal tissues gram-positive bacteria of the genera Streptomyces, Bacillus, Arthrobacter , and Micrococcus were identified in addition.
Bacterial complexes from the surface and inner tissues of the fruiting bodies of the studied basidiomycetes showed significant similarity to each other and differed from those from the hyphosphere and the reference soil.
On the surface and in the internal tissues of the fruiting bodies, representatives of the genus Myxococcus were identified for the first time, which could indicate initial decay of the fruiting body.

I can thank my Goodreads friend, Lisa, for this book. I never knew it existed until she recently wrote a review on it. We are both Lumley fans. Thank you, Lisa! Dec 14, Jamie rated it really liked it. A great collection of some of Lumley's lesser anthologized tales.
Most but not all are Lovecraftian in tone but ALL of them are worth reading. Lumley has to be one of my favorite of modern authors as he is well able to give you the frisson of fear rather than the splatter that seems to be so popular these days and he addresses the difference in syles quite well in his introduction. He's a wonderful stylist, and he writes genuine and believeable characters. This collection includes: Fruiting Bodies A great collection of some of Lumley's lesser anthologized tales.
Nov 18, Aaron Meyer rated it really liked it Shelves: horror. A real nice bunch of short stories. The majority of them were good with only one of them kind of bombing No Way Home. Good old fashion horror without tons of blood and gore, definitely a keeper. Mar 07, James Pratt rated it really liked it. I actually like Lumley's short stories better than his novels. I'm not particularly fond of his take on the Cthulhu mythos, but I would still consider him as one of my favorite modern writers in the horror genre.
I would have been much happier had Lumley moved away from the Necroscope series and back into his short stories. Jan 28, R. In his introduction to Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi , a collection of stories originally published in the s and 80s, Lumley expresses--quite emphatically--his disdain for the splatterpunk movement popular in the 90s when this collection was published, longing instead for the "Good Old Days of horror. Instead, they portray adolescents growing up in England's industrial Northeast with an eye for detail that will make any reader cringe at memories of their own awkward--and terrifying--years.
Lumley is not a fan of splatterpunk. Similarly, I am not a fan of cosmic horror, especially authors who feel something fresh can be mined from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, although few actually deliver anything but Lovecraft retreads.
Of the two Mythos-inspired stories here--"The Mirror of Nitocris" and "Born of the Wind"--the former seems to me just one of these retreads. It smacks of the slow-burning narrative unfolding of Lovecraft, but doesn't stop short with such words as "unnameable" and "indescribable. I read this collection because I remembered the title story fondly from an anthology I read years ago. Happily, that story lived up to my recollections and the rest of the collection delighted me as well. Dec 17, Andrew rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , horror , sci-fi.
Not sure if I have read some Lumley before in the dark and distant past This book I found in a charity shop and was part of one of those multi book deals which are so cheap you can afford to take a risk I'm glad I did this is a strong selection of macabre tales. The tone is emphasised in the introduction with Lumley reflecting on splatterpunk works and how that genre Interestingly enough many of the tales in this small collection have been published in magazines or presented for awards Though Horror these tales are light on blood and gore yet strong in plot and some have a sci-fi leaning too This one was pretty enjoyable.
I generally always have a short story book at beck and call, because after I read a novel or a non-fiction book, I read a short story to cleanse my pallet before moving onto the next one.
This is a collection that I read over time, in-between novels. About half of the stories were not great. Entertaining, but pretty boring. The other half were spectacular. I cant remember the last time I read anything that had me literally biting my fingers, and moaning with despai This one was pretty enjoyable.
I cant remember the last time I read anything that had me literally biting my fingers, and moaning with despair like The Viaduct did this was without a doubt the best story in the bunch. The Pit-Yakker, though I knew what was going to happen actually this is a common thread, but it makes the whole thing more enjoyable, because you know what's coming, so you just have to wait to see it happen , the ending was utterly engrossing.
This was quite a bit of fun! Apr 24, Bryan Whitehead rated it it was amazing Shelves: Not bad. If I had only one consistent complaint, it would be that several of Not bad. However, overall the quality was much higher than that. A nice collection of stories. This was my first time reading Lumley, and I was surprised by the almost fanciful, whimsical voice he employs in these stories; I don't know how this compares to his other works like the Nercroscope series, but you can almost hear Stephen Fry narrating each of these tales to you as you read.
The stories are more fantasy than horror, more Twilight Zone than ABC's of Death, and as with most short story collections, some are better than others, but as a whole, this is a A nice collection of stories.
The stories are more fantasy than horror, more Twilight Zone than ABC's of Death, and as with most short story collections, some are better than others, but as a whole, this is a pretty consistent collection. My favorites were No Way Home, a cool sci-fi story about a guy who encounters a "missing" town, and The Viaduct, about some kids who get trapped underneath a large bridge by a local bully. Would recommend to people who who would enjoy the content of HP Lovecraft presented in a more whimsical and less serious fashion.
Oct 11, Scott Waldie rated it really liked it. A great selection of stories here, a pretty good split between Lumley's Lovecraft Mythos or Mythos-inspired material and other horror tales, equally creepy. He's got that exuberant style of prose that makes him easily identifiable, descriptive and atmospheric. It also features one of the most epic stories you're going to find about Ithaqua: "Born of the Winds".

Oct 30, Hugo rated it really liked it. A very solid collection of Lumley's stories, selected from the late '60s to the late '80s, including his Lovecraftian tales and some more contemporary stories.
There's not a bad story in this book, though some are better than others, and a couple are exceptionally good. Lumley has a clean and direct prose style, always engaging and concerned with establishing characters and place; his contemporary tales are always paced well, to an often macabre final line, and his Lovecraft pastiches evoke the A very solid collection of Lumley's stories, selected from the late '60s to the late '80s, including his Lovecraftian tales and some more contemporary stories.
Lumley has a clean and direct prose style, always engaging and concerned with establishing characters and place; his contemporary tales are always paced well, to an often macabre final line, and his Lovecraft pastiches evoke the spirit and flavour perfectly, while not getting bogged down in too contorted prose.
I'm giving this one five stars based almost entirely on the strength of the title story. It is a real classic of the tiny "fungal horror" genre. Maybe one of the very best stories of that type.
