Spore discharge in basidiomycetes is effected primarily by the explosion of a small gas bubble in the area of the apiculus of the spore and by pressure of residual gas (probably carbon dioxide) that has accumulated between the inner wall and outer membrane of the spore apparatus. A somewhat similar mechanism of discharge has been discovered in an undescribed mycetozoan.
担子菌类的孢子释放主要是通过孢子顶器区域内小气泡的爆炸和在孢子器内壁与外膜之间积聚的残余气体(可能是二氧化碳)的压力来实现的。在一种未被描述的粘菌类中发现了一种类似的释放机制。
