features
Macroscopic features
Athelia acrospora , like all types of tissue membranes ( Athelia ), forms white, thin fruiting bodies with a smooth hymenium and inconspicuous to spider-like edges. They can be easily removed from the substrate.
Microscopic features
Athelia acrospora has a monomitic hyphae structure typical of tissue membranes , that is, it only has generative hyphae , which serve the growth of the fruiting body. The hyphae are hyaline and thin-walled. The subicular hyphae have occasional buckles , the subhymenial hyphae are simply septate and 3.5–5 µm wide. The species does not have cystidia . Their basidia are club-shaped, 12–15 × 4–6 µm in size and cylindrical in shape. At the base they are simply septate, they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are narrow ellipsoidal to cylindrical, 4–6 × 2.8–3.2 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia acrospora covers large parts of western, southern and northern as well as eastern Europe to Russia .
ecology
Athelia acrospora is a saprobiont that attacks conifers and flowering plants. Well-known host species include silver fir ( Abies alba ), tree heather ( Erica arborea ) and Italian straw flower ( Helichrysum italicum ).
