Sporodochium refers to a type of fungal structure that produces spores. There are several synonyms for sporodochium based on its distinct features, such as acervulus, pycnidium, and synnema. Acervulus is a small cushion-like structure that produces spores that are surrounded by a layer of fungal tissue. Pycnidium, on the other hand, is a flask-shaped structure that produces asexual spores and is commonly caused by various plant pathogens. Finally, synnema refers to the aggregation of fungal hyphae that produce sporodochia on the surface, forming a structure that appears like a club or a column. Regardless of the synonym used, sporodochium continues to play an essential role in the transmission of fungi spores.
