Botryobasidium grandinioides is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies thatgrowon dead wood . Botryobasidium grandinioides owns a species area in northern Iran . An anamorph of the species is not yet known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium grandinioides has yellow-ocher-colored, spinel-like fruiting bodies that grow resupinate (i.e. completely adjacent) on their substrate and appear slightly reticulate under the magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all grape basidia , the hyphae structure of Botryobasidium grandinioides is monomitic , ie it consists only of generative, 5.5–8 µm thick hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are slightly hyaline , thick-walled and interspersed with crystals. The subhymenial hyphae are hyaline, thin-walled, and cyanophilic. Unlike most grape basidia, the species has both cystids and buckles on all septa. The mostly six-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 13–19 × 5.5–7 µm in size, are cylindrical and buckled at the base. The spores are broadly elliptical to oval and 7.5–10 × 4–5 µm in size. They are smooth and thin-walled and adaxially flattened to slightly concave.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium grandinioides includes the northern Iranian Mazanderan , where it was found near Shāhsavan .
ecology
Botryobasidium grandinioides is a saprobiont that colonizes dead wood . The exact substrate spectrum of this grape base is not known, it was found on fallen trunks.
