👉 Lasiocaryeae are a group of fungi that are characterized by their elongated, flattened spores, commonly known as "sponges." These spores are produced in the form of sponges or other aquatic structures. The term "sponges" refers to the type of organism they are, which is an example of a multicellular eukaryotic cell that forms a spherical shape and contains specialized cells for growth, development, reproduction, and defense mechanisms.
