| Asexual reproduction occurs by myceliogenic germination of sclerotia directly resulting in new sclerotia or mycelium that eventually produces sclerotia. |
| It survives in soil as sclerotia or resting mycelium and is quite happy on many hosts, which allows it to survive for many years in the absence of soybeans. |
| Further studies concerning the toxicity of ingested ergot sclerotia to young and growing pigs. |
| Cultivation, proximate composition and mineral content of Sclerotia. |
| These compounds appear to play a role in defending sclerotia from attack by fungivorous insects. |
| In addition, many fungi are able to parasitize spores, sclerotia, or hyphae of other fungi, resulting in biocontrol. |
