Producing or characterized by the formation of arthrospores; describing fungi that reproduce via fragmented hyphae.
From 'arthrospore' + '-ous' (adjective suffix indicating fullness or abundance). The '-ous' suffix suggests fungi that are full of or characterized by arthrospore production.
The slight difference between 'arthrosporic' and 'arthrosporous' is subtle but telling—'-ous' emphasizes the abundance or characteristic nature of the spores, while '-ic' is more general, showing how even tiny suffix changes shift meaning in scientific terminology.
