features
Macroscopic features
Athelia decipiens , 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 are resupinate, that is, they lie directly on the substrate, and can easily be removed from it.
Microscopic features
Athelia decipiens 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. They have no buckles , are simply septate and 3–5 µm wide. The species does not have cystidia . Their basidia are hyaline, club-shaped, 12–16 × 4–5 µm in size and club-shaped. At the base they are simply septate, they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are ellipsoid in shape, 4.5–5.5 × 3–3.5 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled, and hyaline . Often they stick together.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia decipiens covers large parts of Eurasia and North America . In Europe it is considered a common and widespread species.
ecology
Athelia decipiens is a saprobiont that attacks dead wood from conifers and deciduous trees . Well-known substrates include Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), silver fir ( Abies alba ) and stone oak ( Quercus ilex ). The species is found in both dry and wet forests.
