peridium
Peridium is a botanical term that refers to the protective layer, covering or wall of a structure such as a spore or fungal fruiting body. It serves the purpose of protection and often aids in dispersion. The term is commonly used in mycology, the study of fungi, and bryology, the study of mosses. The characteristics, like the texture and color of the peridium, can be essential for species identification.
