Vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore walls are of important diagnostic value in identifying a species within a genus. Since ultrastructural descriptions have so far been limited to a few species, the aim of this work was to describe the ultrastructural organization of seven species of Glomus. All these species show a different overall architecture, confirming wall analysis as a good taxonomic criterion. Some features, however, were shared by all spores, chiefly a fibrillar texture given by highly ordered fibrils embedded in an amorphous matrix; the rhythm of the fibrillar deposition seems to be specific for each species. The meaning of such ordered deposition is discussed.

The surface morphology of the conidiospores of Phanerochaete chrysosporium was investigated using freeze-etching. A multilayered structure composed of rodlets was detected. The rodlets had a diameter of 10.2 ± 0.5 nm and were organised as long parallel fibres. Granules, smooth materials, and bark-like structures were found to cover part of this rodlet layer. During germination, the outer pellicle of the spore wall became fragmented and residual aggregates with rodlets were disseminated on the new conidiospore surface. The latter, as well as the germ tube, was composed of fibrillar material.Key words: conidiospores, rodlet, surface, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, freeze-etching, fungal spore, germination.
