features

Macroscopic features

Athelia fibulata forms like all species from the genus of the tissue skin ( Athelia ) whitish to yellowish, thin fruiting bodies with a 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 fibulata 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 always have buckles and are 3–5  µm wide. The species does not have cystidia . Their basidia are hyaline, club-shaped, 15–20 × 6–8 µm in size and club-shaped. They have a buckle at the base, they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are ellipsoidal or cylindrical in shape, 7–9 × 3.5–4.5 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline. Often they stick together.

distribution

The known distribution of Athelia fibulata covers large parts of Eurasia and North America with all of Europe, the former USSR , Canada and the USA .

ecology

Athelia fibulata is a saprobiont that attacks conifers , ferns , mosses and deciduous trees . Substrates can be dead wood as well as fallen leaves and living parts of plants. The fungus was found on common beech ( Fagus sylvatica ), Hylocomium schreberi , bracken ( Pteridium aquilinum ) and silver fir ( Abies alba ).
