Basidiospores (Figure 4) are always produced externally on a structure called a basidium.
At first it may be difficult to distinguish between a basidiospores and one of the asexually initiated spore types, but one should always suspect the presence of basidia when externally produced spores consistently occur in groups fo four or eight (figure 4).
As with ascospores, basidiospores are the result of an early fertilization that is not easily observed.

Basidiospores are airborne and may be significant contributors to the total air spora during certain times of the year.
Basidiospores show a wide range in size, shape, structure, and color; however, they are always single-celled and are frequently small, in the range of 5Ð12 micrometers (Pegler and Young 1971).
In addition, the basidiospores of many mushrooms and bracket fungi are asymmetrical due to the presence of a hilar appendage which attaches the basidiospore to the basidium.

 Cedar-apple Rust
Wetting of galls in the spring initiates expansion of the spore horns and production of basidiospores which are carried to the apple tree to infect leaves and fruit during extended wetting periods.
Basidiospores may be produced within four hours at 52 to 77 F (11.1 - 25 C), and an additional four to six hours of wetting will permit severe infection under heavy inoculum conditions (Table 2-2).
Basidiospores do not form at temperatures below 46 F (7.8 C) and the length of wetting required for infection is extended considerably at temperatures below 50 F (10 C).

 Fungi Classficatiom - Basidiomycotina
Basidiomycetes are characterised primarily by the sexual spores (basidiospores) being produced on a cell called a basidium, usually in fours.
Basidium is the cell in which karyogamy (nuclear fusion) and meiosis occur, and on which haploid basidiospores are formed.
The basidium produce four basidiospores, borne on the tips of little prongs which project from the apex, and which are called sterigmata.

The telial stage spores are present in the large unsightly protuberant lesions on the leaf underside.

Basidiospore production from teliospores can occur in as little as three hours of wetness, and two hours of leaf wetness is all that is required for successful infection by dispersed basidiospores.

There are reports that dispersal by wind can occur over distances of 700 m and more but, because the basidiospores are very sensitive to desiccation at less than 90 percent relative humidity, long-distance spread would be likely only during very wet periods.
Basidiospores survive 5 minutes when the relative humidity is 80 percent or less, and up to 60 minutes when the relative humidity is 81 to 90 percent.
The basidiospores are fragile and under normal conditions generally can not survive longer than about 1 hour.

Rather, the spores are able to germinate and produce basidiospores in the same season in which they are produced.
in vitro is 15° C; basidiospores are produced at temperatures ranging from 5° to 20° C, but not at 0° or 25° C. Basidiospores are produced and germinate within six hours, and continue to be produced for at least twenty-four hours.
• The viability of basidiospores is maintained through a storage process of drying, grinding, and freezing, or refrigeration at 5° C. • Dried ground-infected leaves bearing sori can be stored at 5° C for over a year without a substantial loss in viability.

Because of the delicacy of basidiospores and their need for good conditions, successful dispersal distances are generally about 300 meters and at most 3-4 kilometers.
Further, the basidiospores that infect pine are very delicate, require certain conditions and can't get far.
Basidiospore dispersal distances tend to be longer in such sites, and conditions for infection are more frequent.

The teliospores germinate in moist soil to produce a short hypha (or promycelium) on which long, thin basidiospores (also called primary sporidia) develop.
The basidiospores germinate near the seed and infect the developing plant coleoptile before it emerges from the soil (seedling infection).
The mycelium then develops in meristematic tissue of the growing plant and is carried upward with plant growth.
