Reproduction

*"Gelasinospora" as a genus is made up of perithecial fungi, meaning that they squeeze out their ascospores through an ostiole.
*Spores do not germinate easily, needing a treatment of temperature, chemicals or a combination of the two to initiate germination.
*Like most ascomycetes, "Gelasinospora" creates 8 spores per ascocarp.
