Spermogonie ou pycnide ou écidiole. [...] La germination des basidiospores détachées de la baside(le plus souvent à la fin du printemps) produit un mycélium haploïde. Après 8 à 10 jours, à la face supérieure d’une feuille(plus rarement à la face inférieur ou sur les deux faces en même temps), sous l'épiderme ou dans le parenchyme, se réunissent les hyphes pour constituer au niveau d’un stomate de la plante-hôte un acervule(dans le cas des Hyalopsora des Fougères) ou une spermogonie(le plus souvent). 2, record 2, French, - spermogonie
