features
Macroscopic features
Athelia cystidiolophora , like all species from the genus of the tissue skin ( Athelia ), forms whitish, thin fruiting bodies with a smooth hymenium and inconspicuous to spider-like edges. They can be easily removed from the substrate.
Microscopic features
Athelia cystidiolophora has a monomitic hyphae structure 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. They occasionally have buckles , are simply septate and 3–5 µm wide. The cystidia of the species are cylindrical, thin-walled, and broadened at the tip; some elements up to 100 µm long could represent huge cystidia. Their basidia are club-shaped, 10–15 × 4–6 µm in size and club-shaped. At the base they are simply septate, they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are broadly ellipsoidal to egg-shaped, 5–6 × 3.5–4.5 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia cystidiolophora includes central and northern Europe as well as Canada . It is considered rather rare.
ecology
Athelia cystidiolophora is a saprobiont that attacks the dead wood of conifers . Well-known host species include Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), silver fir ( Abies alba ) and Douglas fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ).
