Producing, bearing, or containing asci (spore-containing structures in fungi); bearing sac-like structures.
From Latin 'ascus' (sac, tube) plus '-ferous' (bearing or producing), meaning 'bearing or producing asci.'
Asciferous fungi include morels, truffles, and cup fungi—they package their spores in microscopic sacs called asci, and when conditions are right, they explosively shoot those spores across entire forests!
