Dear researchers,
What are the black structures that appear on Botrytis cinerea mycellium after two weeks of in vitro culture??
I tried to observe them under binocular microscope and I think that they are fruiting bodies but I am not sure.
Can anyone cofirm this ??
Hi, These are sclerotia , The fungus produces highly resistant sclerotia as survival structures in older cultures.

A sclerotium, plural sclerotia is a compact mass of hardened fungal mycelium. One role of sclerotia is to survive environmental extremes.Sclerotia are often composed of a thick, dense shell with thick and dark cells and a core of thin colorless cells.
Yes
These are sclerotia
Chick the appropriate growth condition required for their growth if you are seeking sporulation.
Yes, they are sclerotia, the dark resting body composed of a mass of intact mycelia, produced as survival structures during adverse environmental conditions.
These black structures are sclerotia produced by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, as you know the fungus Botrytis cinerea produces sclerotia on the old culture media.
With greetings.
Sclerotia, produced most often when cultured in darkness. B. cinerea grows much better when exposed to light, if you would like asexual conidia production - culture in the light.
