Bearing or producing asci; describing fungi that form sac-like spore structures.
From Latin 'ascus' (sac, tube) plus '-gerous' (carrying or bearing), meaning 'carrying asci.'
Ascigerous fungi are some of the most successful organisms on Earth—the asci structure they use to release spores is so effective that yeasts, baker's mold, and cup fungi have dominated fungi for millions of years!
