  1. 1 Structures are spores, runner hyphae (RH) and fine branching (FB).
  2. 2 Diameter (all) and length (RH, FB) or the structure portion used to count the nuclei.
  3. 3 Concentrations of nuclei followed with a different letter are significantly different between structures by a Tukey-Kramer HSD test.
