features

Macroscopic features

Athelia binucleospora , 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 binucleospora has a monomitic hyphae structure that is typical of tissue membranes , that is, it only has generative hyphae that 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, 10–15 × 4–6 µm in size and cylindrical in shape. At the base they are simply septate, they have two sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are pear-shaped, 5–6 × 2.5–3 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline.

distribution

The known distribution of Athelia binucleospora includes central and northern Europe as well as Japan . It is considered rather rare.

ecology

Athelia binucleospora is a saprobiont that attacks conifers and flowering plants. Well-known host species include European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ), Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) and Juniperus macrocarpa .
