Plate 35. Calcium oxalate crystals on the surface <strong>of</strong> the sporangiophores <strong>of</strong> Gilbertella persicaria. 1. Sporangiophore<br />
extending from the substrate surface showing many CaOx dotting its surface; a = crystal plaques. 2. Sporangium with<br />
CaOx crystals covering its surface. Normal SEM on the left; X-ray dot map showing the position <strong>of</strong> calcium on the right. 3.<br />
Sporangiophore with a plaque <strong>of</strong> CaOx crystals (as in 1a). Note the individual crystal nature <strong>of</strong> the crystals in the plaque.<br />
4. Surface <strong>of</strong> a sporangiophore showing the individual “spike-like” crystals attached to base plates . Adapted from Whitney<br />
and Arnott, 1986; 1988.<br />
