Pycniospore

Pycniospores are a type of spore found in certain species of rust fungi.

[1][2] They are produced in special cup-like structures called pycnia or pynidia.

Spores may be colorless, green, yellow, orange, red, brown or black.

Conidia (singular: conidium) are spores produced at the tip of special branches called conidiophores.

In several fungi, the hyphae is often divided into a large number of short pieces by transverse walls.
