features
Macroscopic features
Athelia bombacina forms like all species from the genus of the tissue skin ( Athelia ) whitish, thin fruiting bodies with smooth hymenium and inconspicuous to fibrous edges. They are resupinate, that is, they lie directly on the substrate, and can easily be removed from it.
Microscopic features
Athelia bombacina 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 encrusted with thin, pointed crystals, hyaline and thin-walled. They always have buckles and are 3–5 µm wide. The species does not have cystidia . Their basidia are hyaline, club-shaped, 12–15 × 4–5 µm in size and club-shaped. They have a buckle at the base, they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are cylindrical to narrow ellipsoidal in shape, 4.5–5.5 × 2.5–3 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline. Often they stick together in pairs.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia bombacina covers large parts of Eurasia and North America .
ecology
Athelia bombacina is a saprobiont that attacks conifers , ferns and deciduous trees . Well-known substrates include Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), bracken ( Pteridium aquilinum ) and stone oak ( Quercus ilex ). The species fructifies in a humid climate from spring to autumn.
