  s do not germinate easily, needing a treatment of temperature, chemicals or a combination of the two to initiate germination.
• Like most ascomycetes, Gelasinospora species typically have 8 spores in each ascus
  Ascus
  An ascus is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. On average, asci normally contain eight ascospores, produced by a meiotic cell division followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera or species can number one , two, four, or multiples...
