Abstract
This is the first report on the ultrastructure of spores of five species of Phallales under Scanning Electron Microscopy: Aseröe rubra La Bill ex Fries; Laternea pusilla Berk & Curt; Laternea triscapa Turpin; Phallus indusiatus Vent ex Pers.; Phallus ravenelli Berk & Curt.
The morphology of the spores (including those of Mutinus caninus) is described, illustrated and commented in relation to the ecology and evolution of the above group of fungi.
