Teleomorph, anamorph and holomorph

In mycology, the terms teleomorph, anamorph, and holomorph apply to portions of the life cycles of fungi in the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota:

• Teleomorph: the sexual reproductive stage (morph), typically a fruiting body.
• Anamorph: an asexual reproductive stage (morph), often mold-like. When a single fungus produces multiple morphologically distinct anamorphs, these are called synanamorphs.
• Holomorph: the whole fungus, including anamorphs and teleomorph.
