Question:
Name the plant and body showing Cup or saucer shaped ascocarp
Name the plant and body showing Cup or saucer shaped ascocarp
Show Hint
Apothecium is a cup-shaped ascocarp, typically seen in species like Neurospora. It differs from Perithecium and Cleistothecium, which have different forms and openings.
Updated On: Mar 25, 2025
- Penicillium, Perithecium
- Claviceps, Cleistothecium
- Neurospora, Apothecium
- Aspergillus, Ascohecium

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The cup or saucer-shaped ascocarp is characteristic of Apothecium, which is a type of ascocarp found in several Ascomycetes fungi.
- Penicillium produces Perithecium, which is an entirely different shape (globose or flask-shaped).
- Claviceps forms Cleistothecium, which is spherical and does not have an open cup shape.
- Neurospora produces Apothecium, which is a large, open, cup-like ascocarp. This matches the description of a cup or saucer-shaped ascocarp.
- Aspergillus forms Ascohecium, but this is not the typical description of a cup-shaped ascocarp.
Thus, the correct answer is: (3) Neurospora, Apothecium.
