Abstract
Ascocarps of Stephensia shanori (Tuberales) develop angio-carpically. Asci arise from binulceate cells of ascogenous hyphae 1835 without crozier formation and grow up between the paxaphyses, which are already present in a palisade layer. After karyogamy and pre-cocius synapsis, the typical 3 divisions occur in the ascus. The mature ascus contains 8 nuclei and 8 or fewer spores. The haploid chromosome number is 25[plus or minus]1. Behavior of the chromosomes, nucleoli, and centrioles is described, as are germination of ascospores and production of conidia.
