Spores of Diversispora spurca

Spore Shape: The shape of the spores varies from globose to subglobose.

Spore Color: The colour of spores is hyaline while young and yellowish at maturity.

Average diameter: 95.34-(119.52)-178.88 μm

Layer 1 (L1): The outermost layer known as L1 is mucilaginous and hyaline. This outer layer attracts a lot of organic debris and appears warty and ultimately sloughs off with age. This layer is granular and often adheres to the organic debris. This layer generally detaches itself with Layer 2 with a slight mechanical pressure.

Layer 2 (L2): This layer is laminated layer consisting many thin hyaline to sub-hyaline sub-layers known as laminae. This layer is highly elastic and tends to spread with slight pressure. The innermost sub-layer produces fine wrinkles which appear as another wall layer. Both the layers show very less or no reaction towards Melzer's reagent.
