Trichia decipiens is a species of slime mold from the order of the Trichiida that is common worldwide.
description
The plasmodium is white and pink to red when ripe. The small to large clusters of shiny olive to yellow-olive or brown fruiting bodies are mostly stalked, rarely sessile sporangia . They are cone-shaped to pear-shaped, up to 3 millimeters high and measure 0.6 to 0.8, rarely up to 1.3 millimeters in diameter.
The hypothallus is widened, shiny, colorless to brown and membranous. The cylindrical stalk is wrinkled, dark brown at the base and lighter towards the top, and filled with up to 1 millimeter long, spore-like vesicles . The firm or membranous peridium is yellow, often translucent in thin places, but thickened towards the bottom and persistent as a deep, to slightly shallow calyculus .
The olive to olive-yellow capillitium consists of unwaxed, simple or branched, deep olive-yellow, 5 to 6 micrometers thick elater , which are reliefed as three to five protruding spiral strands and taper towards the ends. The spore mass is olive-yellow to olive-colored, in transmitted light pale olive-yellow, occasionally with an even paler section. The spores are 10 to 13 micrometers in diameter, they mostly have a reticulate surface, the rest of the surface is densely warty or prickly.
Distribution and ecology
The species is distributed worldwide. It can be found all year round on dead wood from coniferous and deciduous trees. The fungus is associated with species of the genera Trichia , Arcyria and Cribraria as well as the blood milk fungus and Stemonitis typhina .
Systematics and botanical history
Trichia decipiens was first described as Arcyria decipiens in 1795 by Christian Hendrik Persoon based on a collection from a forest in Chemnitz in 1778 and transferred to the genus Trichia by Macbride in 1899 .
