Botryobasidium bananisporum is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies that usuallygrowon dead wood . The known distribution of Botryobasidium bananisporum includes Ghana , Gabon , Ivory Coast, and the Central African Republic . An anamorph of the species is not yet known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium bananisporum has whitish to yellowish, resupinate ( i.e. completely adjacent) grow on their substrate and appear slightly reticulate under the magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all grape basidia , the hyphae structure of Botryobasidium bananisporum is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative, hyaline hyphae that branch out at right angles. The species does not have cystids , but unlike most other grape basidia it has buckles on all septa. The six-pore basidia of the fungus grow in nests, are 12-17 × 7-9 µm in size, are short-cylindrical in shape and buckled at the base (which distinguishes the species from the very similar B. musaisporum ). The spores are banana-shaped and mostly 8–10 × 2–2.5 µm in size. They are smooth and thin-walled and have a distinct extension.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium bananisporum includes Ghana , Gabon , the Ivory Coast and the Central African Republic, an Afrotropic area.
ecology
Botryobasidium bananisporum is a saprobiont that colonizes the wood of deciduous trees . The substrates have not yet been determined, but grew in biotopes such as beach vegetation and in large cities.
