Figure 2

Line drawings of three actual fresh spores of Myxidium incomptavermi n. sp. demonstrating minor variations observed between the morphologies. Typically spores are fusiform with a slight sigmoid curve and pointed ends where opposing tear-shaped polar capsules are located. The polar filament had two, occasionally three turns (not shown) and a sporoplasm with a single nucleus was discernable between the polar capsules in some spores. The spore valves are smooth and the sutural line is inconspicuous. Bar = 5 μm.
