Athelia neuhoffii is a stand mushroom art from the family of the tissue skin relatives (Atheliaceae). It forms resupinate, white and mold-like fruit bodies on conifers , deciduous trees and their leaves as well as on other mushrooms. The known distribution of the species covers a Holarctic area.
features
Macroscopic features
Athelia neuhoffii , like all species from the genus of the tissue skin ( Athelia ), forms whitish-cream-colored, initially thin fruit bodies with smooth hymenium and fibrous to rhizomorphic margins. They are resupinate , that is, they lie directly on the substrate, and can easily be removed from it.
Microscopic features
Athelia neuhoffi has a monomitic hyphae structure typical for 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 almost always have buckles in the subhymenium, but rarely basal, and are 4–6 µm wide. Usually the hyphae branch out at right angles and are interspersed with crystalline structures. The species does not have cystidia . The basidia of the species are hyaline, broad-cylindrical to broadly clavate (rarely long-stemmed) and 20-25 × 7.5-9 µm in size. They grow in tufts and have four, rarely only two, sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are spherical to ellipsoidal, 6.5–8.5 × 4.5–5.5 µm in size, smooth and thin to slightly thick-walled and hyaline.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia Neuhoffi includes the northern regions of Eurasia and North America .
ecology
Athelia neuhoffii is a saprobiont that colonizes conifers , deciduous trees , their fallen leaves and other types of fungus. Well-known substrates include balsam fir ( Abies balsamea ), American beech ( Fagus grandifolia ) or the butterfly tramete ( Trametes versicolor ).
