Rhizophydites shutei sp. nov., a colonizer of glomeromycotan spores from the Early Devonian Rhynie chert. a: Portion of Aglaophyton majus axis (very oblique cross section) containing hyphae (black arrows) and Archaeosporites rhyniensis-like glomeromycotan acaulospores (white arrows), many of the latter colonized by R. shutei; cut = cuticle, co = cortex (largely degraded), maz = mycorrhizal arbuscule zone (partially degraded). b: Acaulospore in near-median sectional view, with a tuft-like cluster of R. shutei; c1, c2, c3 = spore wall components, tr = translucent region, spl = spore lumen. c: Uninfected acaulospore with intact saccule (sa); sn = saccule neck. Scale bars = 200 µm (a), 20 µm (b), 25 µm (c).	Text-fig. 1.

Rhizophydites shutei sp. nov., a colonizer of glomeromycotan spores from the Early Devonian Rhynie chert. a: Spore with two clusters of R. shutei in four different focal planes; note apophysis in a2 (white arrow + inset), small vesicles in a3 (black arrow), and zoosporangium with prominent papilla in a4 (black arrow + inset). b: Spore with large cluster of R. shutei in three different focal planes, illustrating differences in size and shape of the zoosporangia; note apophyses in spore lumen in b2 and b3 (arrows + insets). c: Tuft-like cluster of R. shutei in four different focal planes, showing intramatrical thallus portions still partly preserved (white arrows); note interbiotic zoosporangia with short (black arrow in c3) and long (black arrow in c4) stalk,	Text-fig. 2.

Rhizophydites shutei sp. nov., a colonizer of glomeromycotan spores from the Early Devonian Rhynie chert. a: Close-up of Text-fig. 2c4, showing rhizoidal axes arising proximally on zoosporangia (arrows). b: Cluster of zoosporangia in two focal planes; note large central sporangium with a distal opening (asterisk). c: Planar assemblage of R. shutei, showing spheroidal inclusions in two zoosporangia (arrows). d: Zoosporangium with a distal opening (asterisk); note small vesicle (black arrow) and apophysis in translucent region (white arrow). e: Cluster of zoosporangia between wall components c1 and c2 of host in three different focal planes; note wall component c1 surrounding tuft of zoosporangia (black arrows in e2), and small apophysis in translucent region in e1 (white arrow) that gives off main rhizoids, which initially extend through the translucent region (white arrows in e2), and of which one then advances into the spore lumen (white arrow in e3), where it branches profusely (see (f)). f: Close-up of (e3), showing rhizoid passing through host wall component c3, and forming multi-branched rhizoidal system in host lumen.
