features
Macroscopic features
Athelia pyriformis , like all species from the genus of the tissue membrane ( Athelia ), forms 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 pyriformis has a monomitic hyphae structure typical of tissue membranes , that is, it only has generative hyphae , which serve the growth of the fruiting body. The hyphae are hyaline and thin-walled. They have no buckles and are 3–5 µm wide. The species does not have cystidia . Their basidia are hyaline, 15–25 × 5–7 µm in size and shaped like a club. At the base they are simply septate , they have four sterigmata . The spores of the fungus are pear-shaped, 7–8.5 × 4.5–5 µm in size, smooth and thin-walled and hyaline. Often they stick together.
distribution
The known distribution of Athelia pyriformis includes all Western European countries as well as the Czech Republic .
ecology
Athelia pyriformis is a saprobiont that attacks conifers , deciduous trees , their shed leaves and the basal parts of grass plants. Well-known substrates include common juniper ( Juniperus communis ), bracken ( Pteridium aquilinum ) and mountain birch ( Betula tortuosa ).
