Envelope cell

An envelope cell is a collection of loose hyphae that certain ascomycota ( mushrooms ) place around their fruiting bodies ( cleistothecia ).

The envelope cells consist of a loose hyphae. The hyphae form a large number of terminal or inserted, ellipsoidal or spherical, vesicle-like cells with a very thick cell wall . The cell walls are often so thickened that they completely fill the cell interior.

Envelope cells were first described by Eduard Eidam (1845–1901) on Emericella nidulans (= Aspergillus nidulans ). They are also called Eidam's bubbles after him . The ambiguous and ambiguous names Chlamydospore or Gemme are less common .
