Morphological structures of Nothophytophthora caduca formed on V8 agar flooded with soil extract. — a–j. Mature non-papillate sporangia; a. ovoid without basal plug; b–n. with conspicuous basal plug; b. ovoid; c–e. ovoid with undulating sporangiophores; f. obpyriform with undulating sporangiophore; g. limoniform with undulating sporangiophore; h. limoniform with laterally attached sporangiophore; i. ovoid, just being shed (arrow); j–n. caducous ovoid sporangia with short pedicel-like basal plug; k–m. with differentiated zoospores and swollen semipapillate apex; n. same sporangium as in m releasing zoospores; o–q. empty sporangia with internal nested and extended proliferation and multiple branching and undulating growth of hyphae inside the sporangium; r. small sympodium of two sporangia resulting from external proliferation; one sporangium showing nested proliferation and the other one breaking off from the sporangiophore (arrow); s. undulating hyphae. — Scale bar = 25 μm in a–r and 40 μm in s.
