Aleurospore
Definition
An asexual vegetative spore or conidium with a thick wall, produced terminally or laterally directly on the mycelial hyphae of certain microscopic fungi. This spore type develops through the septation of a conidiogenous cell and remains closely attached to the parent hypha until the natural disintegration of the mycelium, ensuring the survival and efficient dissemination of the fungus.
