| Abstract: | The internodal area of growing cord grass (Spartina alterniflora Loisel) is a microcosm colonized by the mycelium and heretofore unreported hyphopodial appendages of the fungus Sphaerulina pedicellata. As the plant matures and this area senesces during the late summer and fall, sexual stages of this and other fungi develop. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that this biomass supports bacterial growth and is grazed by nematodes and mites. |
