Four chains of basidiospores, the sexual spores of C. neoformans, are then produced from each basidium. |

The teliospores borne in these telia germinate to produce a basidium, which in turn produces basidiospores. |
|
These spores grow at the end of a special cell called the basidium, after which basidiomycetes have been named. |

Using electron-scanning microscopy, Wu describes the way four basidiospores in Shiitake are formed on a basidium. |
