In late summer, conidiophores are formed in the mass of fungal tissue called the stroma.
Pycnidial conidiomata or pycnidia form in the fungal tissue itself, and are shaped like a bulging vase.
The outer layer of fungal tissue is thicker, membranous, sometimes with a corky texture when dry, and dirty white.
In place of a haustorium a simple or branched system of fungal tissue penetrates into the haemocoel, drawing nutrients directly from the insect's body fluid.
The developing whip is a mixture of plant tissue and fungal tissue.
Most fungal tissue is filamentous; its very nature predisposes it to grow into tangles that lend themselves to felting.
Belowground, populations of nematodes and springtails are maintined by consumption of fungal tissue.
It grows in the ears of the corn crops and converts the kernels into black, powdery fungal tissues.
It is distinguished from a stroma in not having a peridium or covering of fungal tissue of any kind.
During the first two stages, the larvae live off surrounding fungal tissue, until they reach the inner wood.
