Question

What are the different type of haustoria

Answer 1

Answer:

Fungi in all major divisions form haustoria. ... Thus, an insect hosting a parasitic fungus such as Cordyceps may look as though it is being "eaten from the inside out" as the haustoria expand inside of it. The simplest forms of haustoria are small spheres.

Answer 2

In botany and mycology, a haustorium (plural haustoria) is a rootlike structure or a structure that grows into or around another structure to absorb water or nutrients, such as in the broomrape family or mistletoe that penetrates the host's tissue and draws nutrients from it. In mycology, it refers to the appendage or portion of a parasitic fungus (the hyphal tip), which performs a similar function. Microscopic haustoria penetrate the host plant's cell wall and siphon nutrients from the space between the cell wall and plasma membrane but do not penetrate the membrane itself.[1] Larger (usually botanical, not fungal) haustoria do this at the tissue level.
