Telia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Telia (disambiguation).
Telia (singular Telium) are structures produced by rust fungi as part of the reproductive cycle.[1] They are typically yellow or orange drying to brown or black and are exclusively a mechanism for the release of teliospores which are released by wind or water to infect the alternate host in the rust life-cycle.
